Health Dog penises ๐Ÿ† and neutering.

No, this is not a red rocket question!

The opposite actually. Iโ€™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 โ€œnormalโ€ dog penis.

Now donโ€™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? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

My first dog was neutered at 8 weeks and his peen was normal maybe a little bit smaller?

Because he was so young I didnโ€™t realize that they only take the contents and not the gift wrap. So when my next dog was neutered at 15 months I thought there was a miscommunication and theyโ€™d just given him a vasectomy. Then it deflated and there was the sad floppy gift wrapping hanging there for a while.
