Tomm Parr 30 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Serious question. My pup is 8m and i do a bit of mooching and whenever we're out he gets dirty, naturally. However, every few weeks, his nob appears to get infected, looking pussy and weepy. I've dabbed (please stop laughing ) it with salt water a couple of times and it then appears to be sorted, only to come back a week or two later. HAs anyone seen something similar? He has been getting frisky recently and tries to hump other dogs as well as the bedmat in his kennel, if i touch or move it. Any ideas? this is a serious question, despite first impressions. Help appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jt750 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I had one that always had a drippy dick ...nothing to worry about if he eating and drinking ok ..if he goes off his food and water then go to vet because its likely some kind of water infection and needs specialist anti biotics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 The old Greyhound term is 'gleet' It's a common infection in male dogs. It is all too common to see a dog's sheath dripping pus, not likely to be serious, but should be treated. Mix TCP 50/50 with water, and syringe with a plastic syringe (no needle!) into the opening of the sheath, but make sure not to actually get it into the 'eye' of the penis. Syringe about 10ml of solution down the side of the sheath, hold the end closed and massage it right to the back of the sheath. Repeat a couple of times, allowing the fluid to drain out again between filling it up again. You might need to do this for a couple of days before you see no more pus dripping out. There might well be more modern treatments, but this has always worked for me with no distress to the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
