male problems

Hello everyone,

I am posting this here after I mistakenly posted this subject is behavior.

I have an 8 year old sheepdog, he was altered at age 7 (I know this was late), the problem he is having though is that ever since he was altered his penis will not retract. I have asked the Vet that performed the procedure if having him altered could have caused this, but the Vet assures me that this could not be the case, and then he stated that he must have been like this before the procedure. As I stated before Frosty was 7 when the procedure was performed, and Frosty has lived with me since he was 8 weeks, and this was never a problem before. I went to another Vet and he stated that they could stitch the outer skin slightly to help hold him in, but I was wondering if anyone out there has had the same experience. This condition doesn’t seem to bother him, but we keep his coat short and with winter here I would like to have this matter resolved before something gets a little to cold.

Hi Frosty,

While I don't have the answer to your question I just wanted to offer you my support. I wonder if the vet really did make an error and now is a bit embarressed to admit it? Nevertheless your poor pup! You say it doesn't bother him and that's the most important thing.

I wonder if Grannie Annie has come across this type of thing before? You may find her email on the New England Old English Sheepdog Rescue site. She's been doing this type of work for over 30 years and appears to have seen it all. Hope you find the answers you seek.

Good luck!
Thanks,

I am going to another vet that was recomended to me by a freind. I'll let you know if I have a solution.
