Embarassing question about male dogs (might be too much info)

Fran27 · Jun 30, 2005

Sometimes when I walk Boris (or two days ago at his classes... ugh), there is a pink thing going out of his thing (being vague on purpose

). I thought it was only non neutered dogs that have that so often? Is it normal for a neutered dog and what does that mean? That he's happy, tired, excited?

Sorry if TMI... I'm just curious, maybe it can give me an idea of how Boris is 'feeling'.

That happens to my Doxie quite often as well. Totally normal...a little embarrassing though at times. LOL

EliNHunter · Jun 30, 2005

It's called his lipstick

Oh, and neutering has nothing to do with keeping that from happening...

Fran27 · Jun 30, 2005

Ok I had no clue! So why does it happen?

I am so excited that you call it lipstick too

Sorry, but looks just like a rolled up lipstick LOL!!! That is what we used to call it at the vet clinic I worked for (not to the clients, but behind the scenes.)

My male pug likes to show his ALL THE TIME...his shows up when he is relaxed and I pick him up. I tell him to "put it away"...doesn't do any good, but makes me feel better

Don't worry about it, and NO, neutering has nothing to do with it.

Dogs can be "dogz" can't they??

Gus's pops out when he's sitting awkwardly, or very hot. I think he thinks he can pant with it! lol!

And we don't call it a Lipstick, it's a Carrot in this house

Fran27 · Jun 30, 2005

I kinda like lipstick... it's accurate

But yeah, when he's panting is about the same here.

BigDog2191 · Jun 30, 2005

LOL! lipstick...

Anyway, when is a good time to neuter? 7 months...?

Saje · Jun 30, 2005

I think fat dogs just don't have room for it anymore. Especially if they sit a certain way. It's kinda like doggy butt crack.

6 months is when I do it. Some may argue otherwise, but I

don't like my males to discover leg hiking or marking their territory.

Fran27 · Jun 30, 2005

My vet says 6 months too, the rescue said 5 though so going to neuter Tips at 5. But I'm definitely glad to avoid the humping etc too...

BigDog2191 · Jun 30, 2005

Yeah, Rocky's been getting...um... boners

.. A LOT lately... and this Sunday he'll be officially 6 months so..

juliefurry · Jun 30, 2005

Well my vet neutered Mack at 10 months (we got him at 7). This happens to Mack like every...two seconds and yes it is VERY embarrassing! I think they like to do it at six months though (the neuter). Will this go away in time or will I just always have a "happy" dog?

EliNHunter · Jun 30, 2005

Lol, BigDog! I don't really think they're "boners" per se. I think it just pops out when they sit funny or get scared or are in trouble. Have you ever seen a horse's popped out??

bubbatd · Jun 30, 2005

I laughed when EliNhunter first called it their " lipstick ".....when yop line a bunch of dogs up for a family picture...one always forgets to put it in their case !

Glad you liked that.

Debi · Jun 30, 2005

Guess it depends on the vet...mine wouldn't neuter until 7 months. Hammie has never 'marked territory' before, or after neutering. How funny! And...lipstick in this house.........has just been found in my purse......................makes ya kinda wonder about Ole Ham, doesn't it?? LOL (course, he now won't walk in high weeds either.....what a strange dog)

Before neutering...EGADS...lipstick, lipstick. LOL

Fran27 · Jun 30, 2005

I haven't seen a horse's but I don't think I want to, lol.

Saje · Jun 30, 2005

They are large. And you can really tell the difference between a 'boner' and just a free willy.

I knew a trainer that would whip a stallion's penis if it got excited.

That's gotta cause performance anxiety later among other things.
