Guest greytmonty Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Monty continues to worry about our vet's finances. We are seeing the opth vet for a recheck of his Pannus. His eyes are pretty cloudy so I am guessing he will up the drops again. Our derm vet is SO NICE he is going to stop in to look at Monty's inguinal (sp?) and penis area. Monty has a chronic rash there likely associated with his allergies, and occasionally it gets infected. We noticed a LUMP on the shaft of his penis last night, and I called the derm vet who agreed to squeeze him in today while we are at Penn. I am so worried, it is really weird looking. Never mind his swollen toe and limp, for which we are seeing our regular vet Saturday. Please send good thoughts that the lump is nothing.

Guest Hollys2hounds Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 OH KAREN! :candle :hope :goodluck :grouphug You and my "boyfriend" are in our prayers! Like you said, Monty probably just wants the vet to be able to have a nice summer vacation, or he just misses hanging out with him ??!! Let me know how the visit goes!! Good thoughts, healing thoughts, and prayers your way! Holly and gang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bodie Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 White light and prayers coming for Monty that the lump is just another version of his allergies. Things do seem to happen in multiples for that boy, don't they? Here's hoping that all of his problems turn out to be minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giadog Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Karen; Is it a lump, like under the skin tumory lump, or like a ingrown hair/zit lump? Butkus occasionally gets blood-filled ingrown-hair type lumps on his shaft, and I just pop them and throw some bacitracin on and they're fine...just a thought!! (Yes, I just admitted that I pop my dog's penis bumps. What, it's better than taking him to the vet to do it!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytmonty Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Embarassed but happy update. Indeed monty has awful skin in that area, with blackheads, thinning from Cushings, etc. His "tumor" is a normal bulbar area of the penis that enlarges with blood flow. It just looks bad because of his skin. Dr. Palmeiro was very nice, even saw him for free (more than I can say for the opth vet, CA-CHING). I am embarassed but relieved.

Guest taylorsmom Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Oh, man!!! Poor Monty and poor you!! I am sure that Dr. Palmiero was very very nice about it though, and very understanding. Why would you be expected to know such intimate boy-part details??? Better to be relieved and embarrassed, though, then to be worried and not know what the heck this lump is!! Hope Monty feels better with his other skin and eye stuff really soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now might be a good time. You are too funny! Monty's, er, um, bulbar region does not have a corresponding part on humans. The vet told me this is why male and female dogs sometimes get "stuck together" when doing the deed, as the bulbar region swells up and gets stuck. Oh my, TMI!

Guest ArtysPeople Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Another victim of the "olives on his hoo-hoo", AKA "ping pong ball on his manly parts"! They should seriously start warning first-time male dog adopters about those things! Don't feel too bad; I posted a whole thread here about it when I first saw them, too, and Jeff even laughed at me because in my original post I admitted touching/feeling them while trying to figure out what it was. Not that I blame him, in retrospect and all. After all, I've read his signature. P.S. We need an olive smiley thing for this whole topic.

I had always had girl dogs and didn't know about olives. I did call a friend that had boy dogs and she told me what they were. I did take Beecher in because of the black dots on his tummy. My vet was on the floor on his hand and knees looking at Beecer's tummy and looked at me and said........" I think it's blackheads" he was not a greyhound savy vet but he was right.
