My neutered dog has a stuck penis - what can I do?
This unfortunate circumstance can be rectified at home, though if the penis is left stuck out for a long period of time, then this could potentially become a very serious problem.
However, if you act quickly, then this is a fairly easy problem to resolve:
If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, or if the area looks inflamed or your pet seems to be in pain, then you should contact your vet immediately. Sometimes, this problem can cause a serious condition.

However, if you act quickly, then this is a fairly easy problem to resolve:
- Try to unroll the sheath manually, so that the penis can fit back inside. Sometimes, fur around the base of the shaft can obstruct the sheath, so check for this.
- If the penis is still stuck out, then you may have to use some lubrication.
- You can use warm water, mineral oil or even some KY jelly if you have some lying around.
