Discharge from a neutered male....kinda gross

walkerhl

Its greenish/yellow in color but not pus. And it doesn't seem to be bothering him...no excessive licking or straining to pee. I plan on calling the vet in the am to get his advice as to wether or not to bring him in. I remember someone on here not to long ago posting about their dog having some sort of discharge/plugged issue down under....and that they said it was disgusting. I'm hoping this isn't the same thing! Naive question....can a neutered male still have secretions or is it always related to infections?

Smegma...nasty name for an icky but harmless substance. Guinness has had this a few times. The first time freaked me out, but there was never any other sign of infection and it went away.

Yup - Jasper has this too. It's just really gross.

Brodie had something similar but it WAS an infection, however he was licking a lot and wouldn't allow us to redirect him.

Mendel gets this too. Vet said not to worry about it as long as it was a small amount, no swollen penis and it didn't persist for more than a week

I'm glad to hear this isn't that uncommon....just gross!! So does this reoccur frequently?

Mendel gets it every couple of months. Maybe more often but I don't inspect his junk daily normally I notice it when he licks down there too often
