Is this normal? *involves male genitals*

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Hmmm... I looked it up in one of my textbooks, and found this:
During an erection, the bulbourethral gland on a dog's penis can swell so much it is too wide to retract into the sheath.
Bulbourethal gland: accessory sex gland in male dogs, this gland becomes swollen when the dog gets excited and appear like two round swellings beneath the skin. They are not testicles, but may look like them.

Hope this helped Alyssa...

That is not the bulbourethral gland - dogs do not have those glands (only species which doesn't actually). What you are seeing is the bulbus glandis - a completely different structure. It is a common error due to the similarity in terminology.

As much as I hate wikipedia as a source of anything... here is a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbus_glandis

I am vet tech - & I teach & know the anatomy.
