Paraphimosis in Dogs: A Veterinary Emergency
Paraphimosis is a condition in which a dog’s p***s becomes protruded and is unable to retract back into the prepuce (sheath). While it may initially appear minor, this condition can rapidly progress to significant swelling, impaired blood flow, tissue damage, and severe pain if left untreated.
Clinical signs may include:
• Persistent protrusion of the p***s
• Swelling or discoloration of the exposed tissue
• Excessive licking or discomfort
• Difficulty or inability to urinate
Prompt veterinary evaluation is essential. Early intervention often allows for successful medical management and helps reduce the risk of complications or surgical intervention.
At Victoria Park Animal Hospital, our experienced veterinary team is equipped to evaluate and treat urgent conditions such as paraphimosis. If you notice these signs in your dog, we encourage you to seek veterinary care immediately.
