Hi Dr Sing

(I can't seem to find the email for Dr Sing, could you put this email through to him, thank you very much, :) )

This email is regarding the neuter of my 3year old jack Russell terrier some time late May, XXX. After 3 weeks the blood clot has subsided. Till now all is well and his is also less aggressive and more good natured now. However.. every time I return home, Pepsi would greet me enthusiastically as usual. But after a while, he would stop to lick his genitals. I have noticed that there seems to be another set of testicles, which seems to have emerged from nowhere. It would appear at the middle along the penis.Is this normal? Everything else has been normal and his wound is completely healed.

I look forward to your reply. Thank you!

Owner

Thank you for the feedback.

It is hard to diagnose by internet. As the dog is very fierce, it is hard for him to come to the surgery to be examined properly. Do you mean there are two swellings?

From your description, the area is probably above the os penis (penile bone). If the male dog licks that area, it is possible that he has had some small urinary stones stuck behind the os penis. If he can pee normally, there is no problem. However, he may pee abnormally sometimes. Do observe him well. Here are my recommendations:

1. Use a sterile syringe, collect the urine for analysis.
2. Come to the Surgery to get a urine collection bottle to put the urine in.
3. The urine will be sent to the Lab for analysis for urinary stones and bacteria.
3. E-mail me a picture of the area involved (front view & side view).
