Hello! I'm sorry to hear your dog is experiencing these issues, but I'm glad you reached out. Blood from your dog's penis can be concerning and may result from various causes. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is one possibility, which can cause irritation and bleeding. Another potential cause includes trauma or injury to the genital area, or even kidney or bladder stones. In some cases, it might be related to prostate or other underlying systemic issues, especially if your dog is not neutered.
The loss of appetite and preference for treats could be associated with discomfort or pain. Dogs often go for what feels easiest or most appealing if they're not feeling well.
To help your dog at home, ensure he's drinking enough water, as dehydration can exacerbate urinary issues. Encourage him to rest, and monitor his behavior closely. Look out for signs such as straining to urinate, frequent attempts to urinate, signs of pain, lethargy, or continued appetite loss.
If you notice any of these signs or if the bleeding continues, it's crucial to consult a vet promptly to determine the specific cause and get appropriate treatment. Please consider booking a video consult with our team at Dial A Vet to discuss your dog's symptoms in more detail and get personalized guidance.

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
