Guest Ashleigh Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi everyone! I have a strange question to ask, and I have done a search but haven't found much...hopefully this isn't completely weird. I adopted my hound about 6 months ago and he came into the house with my existing chihuahua. Neither seemed to be too interested in one another, but recently, the Hank (my greyhound) has become OBSESSED with my chihuahua's penis. He follows him around the house, sniffing and licking it, and even if Emmitt is on my lap Hank will try to shove his face right in to get to it. I'm not sure if it's related, but we have a pitbull staying in the yard that Hank has become best friends with. Both of them sniff and lick each other's parts, but not obsessively. Once Hank is in, he's all over little Emmitt. Any thoughts? Thanks! Ashleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheUnrulyHound Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 When one of my hounds had a UTI the others were obsessed with his "parts" maybe the chi has an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely worth getting it checked out. Hank almost gets snippy when I try to push him away...I can't think of anything else! I'll be calling my vet tomorrow! Thanks!

Guest eaglflyt Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 A possible sheath infection or UTI comes to mind. Good Luck on getting it figured out quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kydie Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I too vote for a vet vist for the chihuahua there is some type of strange odor that draws the grey to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clau Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) I vote for UTI too. My cats used to do this! Edited May 1, 2010 by Clau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LindsaySF Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 A quick sniff, sometimes even a little lick, is like saying hello. Some dogs will also do it as a submissive gesture. But if he is following the Chi around and seems downright obsessed, then I vote for a UTI too. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ashleigh Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks everyone! He hasn't done it at all today, but the chihuahua has his vet visit scheduled for this week. I'm crossing my fingers that Hank went mental for a few days! I'll update my findings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxx Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Glad I found this - our girl grey and our small white fluffy dog have been obsessed with licking Solomon's junk the past 2 weeks. And he just started marking in the house after more than a year of good potty habits... off to the vet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
