allen Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Does my dog have problems with his ball sack? its kind of red around the hairs surrounding this scrotum. The other day he spent the night with a 7 year old female husky and I'm not sure how clean she was down there. Check the picture and let me know how you guys feel.

mydiamond Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'd say it's just pigmentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Melsom Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 What do you mean spent the night and your not sure how clean she was down there? They didn't DO anything did they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 It appears that he's been licking himself, by the pinkish color of the white fur. Saliva tends to stain white fur that color. If he did breed this female, or even if he was simply aroused by her, he might well have been licking himself more than usual. In the case that he did, indeed breed her, I strongly suggest that both dogs' hips be x-rayed to make sure that neither has hip dysplasia, and that their eyes be checked by a veterinary ophthalmologist to make sure that they do not have any genetic eye diseases they might pass on to their puppies. His hips won't be eligible to be certified as normal until he's 2, which is why it's advisable to not breed a dog until they've reached that age - and had the appropriate health tests done! Additionally, at 7 years of age, she's definitely on the older end of the spectrum to be having puppies, so extra caution with her health should be taken!!! Whelping is often more difficult, and a c-section might be necessary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 i didn't breed these dogs. just had the female dog over for the night to keep my dog busy. they were playing all night and worn out by morning. I'm not sure if they were humping or not but i just left them in the back yard over night. he seems to be licking his scrotum more than usual so should this be a concern?

Erinc Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 You left two entire dogs of the opposite sex alone in your back yard all night unsupervised? Responsible dog owners FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyMom09 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yeah I'd have to agree the lack of responsibility here is shocking. Do you have any idea if the bitch was in season? Was there traces of blood near his penis or on the bitch's rear legs? I'd suggest telling the owner of the bitch that she might have been bred so they can decide the next course of action, she can be aborted which is suggestible given her age and the pairs lack of health clearances. He should be neutered to prevent 'accidents' like this from happening in the future if you are not going to be more responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Leaving the obvious point of not letting two un neutered dogs go unattended, I'm not sure where your going with this. Please forgive me if this sounds rude but It sounds like you're saying that you think the other dog gets around a bit and may possibly have given your dog an STI. I know. I know. This sounds absolutely ridiculous, but that's how it sounded. In response to your picture, I agree with Sutsibe, it does look like he's been licking. Is he unwell otherwise? Any visible marks to suggest he's been injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronoiiel Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 It's hard to tell from the picture but it does just look like staining. If he's been licking excessively and seems in pain or irritated I would take him in for a quick check up but if he's not uncomfortable then I wouldn't worry so much about it. My GSD mix licks alot after he's done something or seen something that's overly excited him. I just watch him make sure he isn't nomming it intensely or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us are vets, despite the experience we may have - and yes, there is an STD that dogs can get which can be quite serious - brucellosis. Our concern is for first the dogs' safety and health, and uncontrolled breeding can cause damage to either male or bitch, not to mention the risks of pregnancy, especially with an older bitch. Secondly, we are concerned for the health of the breed, not wanting dogs who potentially have genetic diseases to be part of the gene pool, producing puppies that could too-easily have genetic problems which could cause a life-time of pain, or even death... Thirdly, if she is in season, her owner(s) will have to deal with the potential of having puppies - with all the risks and potential expenses that entails... I truly don't mean to be rude or unkind, but part of having and loving this breed of dog involves being a responsible caretaker of the breed!

allen Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 oh no doubt of course I'm concerned if he does have an STD or not. That was the original reason why I asked the question of his scrotum being a little bit red. But from what I've gathered from this thread it seems that my dog is in his normal behavior. I'll bring him to a vet and see whats good with him. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erinc Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 What's that suppose to mean erinc? It is suppose to express how I feel in regards to your ignorance. You don't seem to understand the possible consequences of your irresponsibility and its the dog(s) that are going to suffer, not you. I can't begin to explain to you how grateful you should be to the people who have had the patience to reply back to you constructively. Please please please do not leave your dog alone again with her unsupervised. Breeding can be so dangerous for the male, and during the tie, the female must be kept calm. Grow up and realise that your actions, or the lack of them do have consequences which you will be responsible for. My replies till now have been pointless, purely because I've been trying to work out if you were pulling our leg because I was gobsmacked that you were actually being serious! Anyway, love your dog and look after him how he deserves to be looked after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if what the op has done is less than responsible, calling someone ignorant is uncalled for. Closing this post.
