My wife and I picked up Sherman off of Craigs list here in Chicago. He is a 4yr old male fawn pure Bully that is very gentile and sweet. We have 2 boys, 2 and 4, that are adjusting well to Sherman!
Everything is going well with the exception of a few things that some of you may be able to help me with. Sherman has not been neutered yet and has been marking the house by my chair in the family room and in my boys room! He WILL be getting neutered next week when Dr. is back from vacation. For now he is in his cage while we are at work. I REALLY hope that after he is neutered he will stop marking as this is a very serious problem and if it is not corrected, we will be finding Sherman a new home as I will not tolerate a dog to mark up my house!
Sherman is on Blue dog food and no table scraps of any kind. We have noticed that our house smells like dog, not wet dog but just dog smell. He has had several oatmeal baths and it just seems that when you give him a hug he smells like dog. I REALLY need to get rid of this smell. It is not his ears, anal glands, or his diet as I have gone through these issues and the smell is still there. The vet is going to check him out next week to diagnose the smell issue. He is not on any medications and has no know health issues currently.
And last, this may seem a little gross but I have noticed little dots on my kitchen floor, about the size of a pea and milky yellow in color. I come to find out that it is leaking from his penis. His little red rocket popped out one day and I noticed this really gross milky yellow stuff around the outside of his penis! What in the world is this? I have not ever seen him clean himself down there, maybe because he is to lazy! Do I as the owner need to clean down there to prevent this from returning! What do I clean it with?
Any help on these issues would be great! I am still trying to figure my way around this forum as it is different than other forums that I have been on!
Thanks Brian
