QuestionMy toy poodle loves his groomer. As soon as she puts him up on the table he gets a huge erection, and his penis stays out the entire time. When I picked him up today she said that he ejaculated blood. She said that he didn't seem to be in any pain. His testicles never came down when he was a puppy. He's acting fine; playing, eating, no sign of discomfort. My groomer mentioned that this had happened before with him, about 18 months ago. Should I panic? What could this be?
AnswerHello Cindy,
Sorry it took so long to answer. Its been a long week/weekend.
I have had dogs do this when grooming, it tends to be caused by excitement, or if I have groomed a female dog. When they ejaculate blood, it just means a capilary broke and bled a little bit. This is nothing to panic about. Just sometimes happens with un-neutered male dogs.
I hope this helps some. If you have other questions for me about this, or other Poodle questions in general, please feel free to ask.
