Hi there! I'm really glad you reached out about your male dog. Seeing blood dripping from his penis can be quite alarming, but let's explore what might be going on.
One common cause could be a urinary tract infection, where bacteria irritate the bladder or urethra, leading to bleeding. Other possibilities might include an injury, such as a scratch or bite, or more complex issues like prostate disorders, urinary stones, or even tumors.
At home, make sure your dog stays hydrated, as plenty of water can aid in flushing out the urinary tract. Watch for signs like frequent urination, straining or pain while urinating, or licking the genital area excessively. If these symptoms are present, or if the bleeding continues, it's important to have him checked by a vet.
Keep an eye on his overall behavior and energy levels. If you notice he seems lethargic, experiences vomiting, or has a decreased appetite, it could indicate a more serious condition needing prompt attention.
For peace of mind and to ensure your pup gets the right care, consider booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can provide guidance tailored to your dog's specific needs.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
