Ok everyone, I need some insight, suggestions, previous experience, HELP! A little history on Bodie, at 3 months old, Bodie got a prolapsed urethra,(too hard to explain, google it!), I was told that this is very rare,(1 in every 10,000),and usually only seen in male EB's, vets don't know the exact cause or reason that it happens. They have different hypotheses, i.e. hormone related, genetics, so he had surgery where they massage the tissue back in and then stitch it. Then at 7 months old, he prolapsed again! This was 2 days after he "came into his manhood", so to say! He had huge erection, and "finished" while I was lightly rubbing his head to calm him, mostly because this was my 1st male dog and 1st, um, encounter of this nature. However, this time it was MUCH worse than the 1st, an enormous amount of blood loss, every time he would stand to move it would gush and squirt out like there was a cut vessel. Of course, just like the 1st time it happened on a Saturday! So due to the fact that the 1st time this happened we took him to an emergency vet that almost killed him and had NO clue as to what a prolapsed urethra even was. That's a whole other story for later! So finally on the following Monday I got him to a wonderful animal hospital in Wilmington, NC(Needham Animal Hospital), and he went into a much more invasive surgery the following day. This time the purple mushroom that was hanging onto the tip of his penis had to be cut off and then stitches. So, now here's my dilemma, this evening we walked in the door, he was laying on the rug at the front door, he got up and a couple mins later he was "air humping", he does tend to do this sometimes, and then he usually realizes that it's not "working", so he stops. A few mins later my hubby walks by the front door and sees blood everywhere! Sure enough it's coming from his penis! I checked him out and his penis doesn't look to be prolapsed and he's not bleeding anymore, at least not at a constant. Has anyone else had any problems with a bloody penis? Any kind of info would be greatly appreciated, even if you think it's irrelevant to Bodies story, you never know! PLEASE, any and everyone, I need insight!!! Thanks
