Last night I found small amounts of blood on a blanket and so I checked all 4 of my dogs and didn’t see anything . Honestly thought it was my Doberman losing teeth. We put jinx in our bathroom at night and I found blood on the shower curtain and I re checked him and checked his penis and found a small amounts of blood. My Doberman is 6 months old and sometimes he like to go up to the boys a bite there penis and I’ve been trying to beat that behavior. We haven’t noticed jinx having any trouble peeing or acting weird
Finding small amounts of blood can indeed be concerning, but since Jinx, your Australian Shepherd, isn't showing any signs of discomfort or trouble urinating, it might not be an immediate emergency. Let's go through a few possibilities and steps you can take to ensure Jinx's well-being.
Firstly, considering your Doberman puppy's habit of biting, it's possible that Jinx has a minor injury on his penis. I recommend checking for any visible cuts or abrasions. If you do find any, gently clean the area with warm water and a mild antiseptic solution to prevent infection.
It's also important to monitor Jinx for any changes in behavior. Look out for signs such as difficulty urinating, frequent licking of the area, or any indications of pain. These could suggest a more serious issue, like an infection or a urinary tract problem.
In terms of behavioral management, continue working on discouraging your Doberman's biting behavior. Positive reinforcement and redirecting their attention to appropriate toys can be effective strategies. Consistency is crucial in modifying this behavior.
Additionally, observe Jinx for any other symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or increased thirst. If you notice any of these, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian.
For now, keep a close eye on Jinx. If the bleeding persists or you notice any other concerning symptoms, it would be best to have him checked by a veterinarian to rule out any underlying issues. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
