Thanks for reaching out — I completely understand why you're worried about your dog's health. An enlarged prostate in neutered dogs, while less common, can still occur, and it's great that you're looking into it.
In neutered dogs, an enlarged prostate might be due to infections (prostatitis), cysts, or even tumors. It's less likely to be related to hormonal issues as it might be in an unneutered male, but it still needs attention.
If your dog shows signs like difficulty urinating, blood in urine, or discomfort when sitting, it could point to a prostate issue. Keep an eye out for straining during bowel movements or any swelling near the back end.
At home, ensure your dog has easy access to plenty of fresh water and opportunities to urinate regularly. This can help prevent discomfort or complications related to urinary issues. However, if your dog shows any of these signs, it's important to seek veterinary care promptly.
Should these symptoms worsen or you notice fever, lethargy, or severe pain, those are indications to get help right away. It would be prudent to book a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss your dog's symptoms in detail and determine the best next steps. The sooner we can pinpoint the cause, the sooner your dog will feel better.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
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
