I was playing with my dog tonight and when i was getting him going i noticed some discoloration in his sperm. It was brown like a coke spill i guess you could say. Well i read upon line that it is normal that brown in semen could be urine mixed with it and as well as blood. but the second time, i let him rest to see if it would happen again, the second time it was red and looked like blood. When i was playing with him when it was brown it was a short time before it ran clear so figured that was just urine. but i was afraid to see if the blood would stop and run clear i didnt want to hurt him though he seemd perfectly fine with a smile on his face lol. has this happend to anyone? I want to take him to the vet but i wouldnt know how to explain it to him. His urine seems fine though. It has happend before and when i took him to get a full examination to make sure everything is in order everything looked fine. Im just worried
First-- I AM NOT A VET, AND I DON'T PLAY ONE ON TELEVISION-- I can't speak as one, no intent to try.The skin on a dog's penis is very thin--thinner than ours. Any scrapes or even hand friction can break capillaries, especially when it's stretched tight. Bumping something while humping can do the same.That said, a trip to the vet is a good idea. You don't have to say "I was jerking off the dog, and he started bleeding". Personally, I think I wouldn't. Just say you saw blood spots when he relieved himself. Don't offer any opinion as to how it happened, or any cause. Doing so could interfere with a proper diagnosis, anyway. There are any number of perfectly normal ways for a dog to scuff himself, or he may have a bladder infection. As long as you haven't left obvious teeth marks, let the vet figure it out.....
I agree with Neandernitz. take him to the vet and have it checked out.LTD
agree with both before.Besides, you can't take for granted a bladder infection, K9s have an insanely high pain threshold, once one of my dogs got bitten in the face, and got an open injury to the bone on the muzzle, as soon as I had cleaned it, he wanted to go out walking again, so your dog's face is in no way indication if it hurts or not.you could also try to get a sample of urine to the vet, it will be hard, but you can see there if he has blood, bacteria or whatever.Try touching his testicles, if they are relatively small and soft, then you can discard an infection there, but let the vet have the final word.p.d. my nickname is taken from one of my dogs (the one in the picture), he is Dog Genious, I ain't no vet, just sharing experience on a similar matter.
well theres no blood in he urine and his testies arnt hard or anything. some times it runs clear but i noticed it again today. but i have taken him to the vet and they say nothing is wrong. but i dont by it because why is blood coming out Im just going to stop until i know what going i dont want to hurt him.
Dear Horndawgs;Your feelings and concern for your mate is very touching. I appreciate the level of care and respect that you show to him. Your feelings for him are truely inspiring. So, let me try my best to ease your worries and concerns.First, let's start by what has your veterinarian done. The first and foremost test that should be done is a urinalysis. A look at the urine that your dog produces. Mainly, there are two phases to this procedure. First is a strip to determine the chemical makeup of the urine, how dilute it is, and early cell detection. The second part is a spinning and looking at the sediment of the urine under a microscope. This is where the major of discoveries are made. If there are strange cells, any crystal formations, detection of blood cells or bacteria in the sample. Some important questions are also how was the sample collected? Was it by free catch (more cells and bacteria or even outside contamination), cystocentesis (the introduction of a needle into the bladder, increase blood but no bacteria from an outside source) or by passing a urinary catheter (sample tends to be purer, but can irritate cell walls and collect more of them). Also, it wouldn't hurt to do another sample a few days later. Sometimes, there is human error involved or heavier day of infections for easier detection. Also, having a lateral radiograph of the abdomen is helpful. Not only does your vet get to see your mate's liver, spleen and kidneys, but also quite helpful to see the bladder (PS: make sure your mate DOESN'T urinate outside the office BEFORE that x-ray. having a 4-6 hour port urinating is quit nice to view). From there, you can do an air contrast radiograph to see the bladder lining better or an ultrasound view of the bladder. BTW, don't just go into your vet tomorrow and say I want an air contrast of my dog's bladder. Your vet is going to think you're crazy. Most will brush you off as being "internet knowledgable" and nothing is more frustrating for a vet that has spent a good time studing and practicing medicine then someone that comes in that thinks they have the answer they got from spending 2 hours on the net.Alright, has your vet conducted a physical examination? Did you see him feel the testicles, penis or prostate? Yes, that means they'll dawn the infamous rubber glove and insert said finger to feel the prostate gland. Also, they should pull back the sheath (prepuce) and visually inspect the tip and length of the penis.OK, so we've passed 2 urinalysis, the radiograph was clean and the physical exam had a shiney gold star, what's next? Diet and exercise can play a part. Packaged food can introduce artificial colors or give protein in different forms. A diet rich in red meat can introduce a large amount of iron. Too much or heavy exersize can stress the body as well.Well, what about if we played to hard together and we accidently caused some pain to our partner. Funny thing about the penis is the large amount of blood flow to that area. So, bruising or injury can occure. This is a mixed blessing because that also means the tissue heals quickly as well. About 10-14 days average to heal up again. The silly thing about dogs is their resilience to pain. They're programmed to not show pain because it's a weakness that makes them vulnerable to other predators. So, it's very hard to tell if there's an injury caused due to rough play.Read your mate and what he's telling you. You know each other now and you can understand what each is saying to the other. Is he happy and having fun or pulling away and making distance. I understand the feeling of being nervous and anxious when something changes. It's also part of our nature to over react and see things that other's don't. Trust in yourself and what your partner tells you. Also, put faith into your vet. They love and care about animals too. Trust me, vets don't go into the business unless they do. If they were more concerned about money, they would have been a human doctor making 3x as much... May peace and love surround you both.HyBrithe Resurgam

THe only thing i was told from my vet were that his kidney levels were high but everything else was fine. im going to wait a week or two and check on him every now and then to see if his semen runs clear again. its not in his urine. until i can gather and get an estimate on how much it would be to get him looked at ill just wait. I just want him to be better i dont need the sex with my dog i just want him alive
My current canine lover has this issue on occasion. I mentioned "I noticed some reddish discoloration in his urine, or in the semen when he 'gets excited' because a neighbor's bitch is in Heat, and he dribbles a bit on the floor.", and I asked the vet to check his urine and anything else that might be necessary. He did, and said he didn't find anything to worry about. And this is a good vet, one I have worked with and trusted for many years.So I guess a little discoloration isn't that unusual. If it actually runs scarlet, and looks like he's cut himself, that would be different, of course.I guess the best thing is to be cautious and watch him carefully, if it seems to get worse, have the vet do lab tests on him again.Also, get in the habit of touching him all over, and if you feel any lumps or changes that might be a tumor or other problems, contact the vet at once and show him the lump.
