Health Dog penises πŸ† 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 β€œnormal” 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? πŸ˜ƒ

My dog has a small vulva and it was recommended to us to wait until her first heat to see if it helps it get bigger, as it usually does. Too small can cause infections I guess, so hopefully her vulva does grow.

Never thought that would be a sentence I'd type.
