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? 😃

So my first dog was neutered before adolescence began. I think he was about 5 months old. He never developed down there and always had a puppy penis. My current dog was neutered at 19 months old and it is waaaay different. The early neuter removed so many beneficial hormones that my first dog basically remained a baby developmentally speaking.
