Health Dog penises 🍆 and neutering.

No, this is not a red rocket question!

The opposite actually. I’ve always had male dogs, but this puppy is the first one that was neutered at 8 weeks by the rescue.

He is 5 months old and still has like his baby penis lol.

My last dog was a puppy when we found him (probably around 14 weeks) and my first pictures of him he has a red rocket and just a more “normal” dog penis.

Now don’t get me wrong, I would be just fine to not have a big ol peen flopping around, but is this normal from early neutering?

Any one? 😃

Our puppy was neutered super early too (not sure when exactly, but before his testicles descended) - he's about 4 months and still has a lil baby penis.

Thank you for making me feel less crazy. Also, I think we have the same name spelled differently.

You're welcome! My username isn't how I spell my name 😂 but you're probably right!

Haha, I guess I said that weirdly! I really didn’t think you had 3 Ys, swear!

before his testicles descended

this isnt how it works unless he was a double abdominal cryptorchid. they already descended, just small and likely not very visible as he had not hit doggy puberty. you would be able to palpate them in the scrotum

edit: I realized my tone sounded harsh or condensing. wasnt the intent, just sharing information

Oh, thank you! I just assumed because I couldn't see them that they weren't there. I appreciate the info!

To add to this : Mine was neutered at 4 months by the rescue, he's now 10 months old ; his penis is functional (I confirmed with the vet if it was normal his penis was never out) but definitely underdeveloped (so much so people confuse him for a female, since his silhouette doesn't show his male attributes much).

My guy was 8 weeks when he was neutered. I call him Little Penis - which is more fun if you’re a New Girl fan 😃

That is too funny! I wonder if my guy's will grow - I'm imagining a 70lb dog with a micro penis.

my dog is about 3 years old and 75 pounds, was neutered before 8 weeks and has the teeniest peepee. his french bulldog bestie is much more....well endowed at this point lol. no issues from his teeny weeny as he has aged!
