Looks like he's been grooming himself a bit too excessively. It's not normal though and looks quite sore!

 

[some show]

Can't quite tell what I'm looking at! Has he caught it on a bramble maybe, having a wee? My boy loves to wee on prickly, thorny, stingy things for some reason!

 

[Parrotperson]

Thanks all. I’ve doesn’t hardly ever groom himself down there! And as far as I’m aware no prickly action either.

I thought ‘gosh that must be sure!’ But he has no trouble weeing at all
Ah well off to the vets it is!

 

[Parrotperson]

He not I’ve. I mean I don’t groom him at all down there! Maybe I should provide toilet paper. ???

?? Let us know how you get on! Would be interested to know what it is!

What are we supposed to be looking at? Male dogs often have pinker skin (especially white/thin skinned/short haired dogs), warts/skin tags, pigment patches down there.
It does look quite pink so he has probably been over-licking it. I swear by a skoosh of Botanica 5-in-1 for all grooming and minor irritation needs. (I wouldn't spray it directly on the nether regions, maybe into the air above the floor and have him walk through it if you know what I mean.)

 

[Parrotperson]

Sorry corvuscorax. Terrible pics. It’s like a scab really. As if it’s had a little bleed then scabbed over. But he’s not at all bothered with it and I’ve never seen him licking himself down there at all. (Maybe that’s the problem!)

I’ll book the vet and let you all know.

 

[Parrotperson]

So. Vets next Tuesday. ?. First appointment I could get. I’ll bathe it in the meantime. Although he’s not bothering about it st all which is what puzzles me. You’d think it would sting!

 

[Smitty]

Unbelievably years ago our Lab x Collie got a fair sized piece of wood jammed up the side of his man bit after a foray into some undergrowth. OH heard a shriek and dog shot out but on examination appeared unscathed. It was only when we saw him unable to pee that the vet was immediately called.

I don't recall the details but the piece of wood still has pride of place in a specimen jar.

I hope yours gets better soon and I think I would have made a vet's appointment as well.

 

[Parrotperson]

Ouch smitty! Not nice. As I say he’s not bothered at all about it but best to check it out.

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

I’d stick a t shirt over him to prevent licking, or a buster collar so he can’t reach it. If it’s irritating, he’s probably going to want to lick it even more!

 

[Clodagh]

I’d do as CT says and bung a big handful of savlon all over it. It’s my unidentified injury go to!

hes not kicking it at all! That’s the thing I can’t understand. You think he would be but he doesn’t touch it.

yes. I’ll bathe it and cover it until Tuesday.

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

If you use savlon, make sure he definitely can't access it. Dunno if sudocrem is better?

 

[DabDab]

No idea, but I love him ?

 

[MotherOfChickens]

Not savlon! It can really burn a sensitive area. Bathe in boiled water, use a clean bit of cotton wool each swipe. Maybe a tiny bit of sudocrem but a wee smidge and immediately distract him until absorbed (which is quick).

 

[Parrotperson]

Thanks all. I’ll just use boiled water for now I think. Just in case he’s a (over) sensitive soil. After all he’s a JRT so he probably is! ?

 

[Clodagh]

Well I had no idea savlon was no good! Me bad. I’ve always used it on dogs, horses and humans ?

well. That’s it. I’m calling the RSPCL (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Labradors) ?

 

[Parrotperson]

Ok vet seen. Its all to do with puberty apparently. I'm to keep an eye on it and bathe as necessary.

Vet also checked his teeth (small baby tooth causing a small problem so he pulled it out: it was almost out anyway but being impeded by the adult tooth) and his ears as final teething can cause ear problems and Rocky has been yelping when scratching his ears. They're slightly inflamed so he has drops for those

Who knew boy puppies were so very different to girl puppies!

Poor little fella ? I think mine skipped puberty and just went straight to being old enough for prison ...

it’s not bad but I have seen it cause burns on erm, sensitive parts, both humans and horses (not in anyway linked-had to say that ?).
