Hi, I have an 11 month old male dog. He was neutered about two months ago. Is it 'normal' for them to be licking their penis area a lot? There are also times when he's 'just going at it' (sorry I'm not sure else to say it ). I never experienced this with our previous two male labs. Hoping it's just something that teenage boys go through. Thanks for any input. Janel
I am laughing hysterically right now, lol. Sorry! But, it depends on the licking... Is he having troubles going pee or doing this frequently before/after the bathroom? It might be a sign of a UTI or something but if he does it randomly and stops after 'going at it' he's probably just, for lack of a better term, 'pleasuring' himself. Animals do it too and neutered dogs can apparently still ejaculate. My boy does it and it's disgusting but I'm fairly sure it's just a 'boy' thing and probably depends on the dog. Unsure if neutering has any impact but Teller is also neutered.
I'm glad you found my message funny. How do you explain it lol. I'm glad to know you've experienced it too. I keep telling him 'put that thing away'
I would definitely give the vet a call and possibly bring in a urine sample just to rule out any infections, especially if it's a recent development. Lol. I am also glad that I'm not the only one with a masturbating dog. I don't really talk about it but my boy will get really into it and sometimes spin in circles (TMI, I know).
