that was neutered badly and would have this problem. He would get giant persistent erections that wouldn't go down. It bothered the heck out of him and he would chew at it until it got really sore. He would not let my husband near the problem, but, if I got to him before he made a mess of it, I could pull the sheath and get it to retract. Don't know what causes it. If you can get him to fall asleep and leave it alone for a bit it will retract on its own. We used to give the dog a heavy dose of benadryl and let him sleep it off...

Sounds like that Cialis commercial. I always say "If you have an erection that last 2 hours or more, you best go See Alice I don't want ya"

Yeah. I ended up calling the vet and massaged it back in. That was a strange brokeback moment.

He is doing much better now. He has a slight infection but nothing a little penicillin won't cure.

Dehydration seemed to be the problem then running through the brush and snow cut him up a little bit.

BigGameHunter,

My brother had a dog get tore up in the guts one time and got him fixed by the vet. Couple days later he had the same problem. I think it was 2 days and he went back to the vet. The vet said to put him down, it would never retract and it would keep getting infected. The dog was put down. This vet does not like bear hunters and always gives you a hard time when you take a dog to him. Another vet, later, told my brother that he could have just cut it off, if it came to that. I'm sure glad yours was an easy fix. My brother's situation was terrible. That dog should not have been put down (personally).
