Question
I have this 7 year old toy poodle who is neutered. After he pees, he drips blood from his penis. His appetite and activities are normal and sleeps often. why does is he bleeding ? i am very concerned and worried for he is my best friend. So i am kindly asking you to please inform me on what is wrong with my buddy.

Answer
Irritations of the bladder, urethra and prostate can lead to bleeding.  These can be a result of infection, cancer, and stones.  With the age of your dog I would tend to say the prostate is the most likely source of the bleeding and would suggest having your veterinarian examine him.

Best of luck to you and your canine companion.
