Common Questions and Answers about Lump after neutering

lump

Avatar f tn My neutered male dog's has a huge lump at the base of his penis. I looked it up and read about boulbus glands (which is exactly where his lump is). But they are 2 small lumps. This one Istop huge and red and hard. My husband said he has noticed the dog getting a small lump there lately but then going away. But nothing of this size. Please email or text for picture if you have medical knowledge.
Avatar n tn We just adopted a 13 week old puppy through a rescue group, he was already neutered at a very young age of 10 weeks, and we are concerned that he may have complications from his neutering. A week ago we noticed a small purple bump on the incision site that didn't seem to really bother him, but now a week later it has trippled in size and is dark purple. It was bleeding and pussing the other night, so I cleaned it with warm water and a paper towel.
Avatar n tn No vet has ever given me such a caution after neutering surgery, so this is a new one on me! You might post your question on the Ask a Vet board here at Med Help. One of the veterinarians can certainly answer this question better than I can.
Avatar n tn My 8 yr old neutered male shih~tzu has a lump approx. 3cm. under his penis...it doesn't seem to be the bulbous gland since it is there consistantly. It is an ununiformed mass but has a hard round marble consistancy within the structure that is somewhat mobile. He does not like when I manipulate it. He also has a smaller one about 2cm farther down that is round and firm. Is this cause of concern of cancer? Thank you for your help!
Avatar f tn Yes neutering will help a lot! The spraying never would have started if you'd gotten him neutered earlier.
14136207 tn?1433078387 I was giving my 6mo Pomerat a bellyrub last nite, and discovered a nickel sized lump above, and to the side of his penis. Can you tell me if this may be serious, and if it is common in puppies?
Avatar n tn my 8 month old female cat has had the neutering surgery yesterday. She seems doing ok for the night and day today, eat and drink well, had good BM and also peed fine. But I just noticed she's developed a lump on her incision site in the evening. it appears to be fluid filled, and my cat will let me touch it lightly without showing sign of pain. I will take her back to the Vet tmr morning, but just wondering if this is a normal reaction after the surgery.
Avatar f tn I am not up-to-date about Boston Terrier cancers due to early neutering, but most dogs benefit from neutering. Cancers such as testicular cancer can not occur. It is also easier for the vet when the testicles have not formed as strong as a bond with the gubernaculum (aids in descent of gonads).
Avatar n tn What should I do, he is 12 and happy, would neutering him be a good option? or leaving him alone happy? Will the prostate get bigger I am so perplexed at what to do any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated and any experience anyone has gone through with the same issues please share. The vet said "The hope is that when we neuter him the prostate shrinks back down, but if it doesn't then we'd want to sample it (called an aspirate) that we'd do ultrasound guided.

Avatar n tn I have read the advantages and disadvantages of neutering and the disadvantages at his age seem to far outweight the advantages. I'm seeing increased risk of things like hypothyroidism, urethral incontinence, and some places even say prostate cancer by being neutered. I'm wondering if I'm trading one problem for a worse one. I found this product on the net called Prospet that supposedly can help to shrink the prostate. I was going to try that route instead of the neutering.
Avatar n tn When it comes to spaying and neutering, spaying is the more expensive of the two because it involves actual abdominal surgery. It usually runs between $55 and $150 depending on the hospital, and also depending on the cat itself. It costs more to spay a pregnant cat because the blood vessels in and around the uterus are engorged with blood and there is an increased chance of the cat hemorrhaging, so more time and sometimes even a second doctor is needed, raising the price of the surgery.
Avatar f tn A week later, we took him back to the vet, getting yet another antibiotic after having x-rays to look for stones. She found no stones or masses on the x-rays, so she still believed it to be an infection. It still didn't go away completely but became more sporadic in the bleeding episodes. Finally, when that antibiotic was completed, the bleeding did stop for 2 weeks. Now the bleeding is back again & he is once again on antibiotics. Our vet suggested getting our dog neutered.
362692 tn?1248639193 Yes, neutering should help, but it can take many weeks after neutering for the humping to appreciably decrease. Get him neutered and vetted appropriately. Snaps to you for adopting this new dog!
Avatar f tn Some dogs can have sleep aggression but that is more a scenario of a dog being disturbed when they are sleeping, not sure why he would be aggressive after he wakes up. This sounds more like a behavioral issue. I can't understand why your vet would suggest mating him or removing anal glands. Dies he have problems with his anal glands? That can be done but can have complications if a Vet doesn't do them often and "can" cause nerve damage not to mention it being painful.
Avatar n tn Is your kitty neutered? even after neutering some males will do this especially around a female (even human females)..IMO this can occur if the neutering was done after they've turned 6-7 months old and have already gotten the mating urge. Nothing to be concerned abt if it bothers you than discourage him laying beside you. as far as the teeth grinding, that could indicate some dental pain, although he is a little young to be having teeth issues, have you had him examined by a Vet?
Avatar f tn The only thing that I can think of to do is to get him neutered or to take him to a shelter and give him up, but I am very attached tohim and that is a course of last resort to keep him safe. So will neutering him keep him from spraying? I'm sorry but I cannot give you an exact age on him, but I would guess that he is at least 3 to 4 years old already as he was full grown when we first met him.
Avatar n tn My 11 year old male dog has perineal hernia. I don’t see any lump protruding but I can feel it like a movable object when I place my fingers just next to his tail and on right side of anus. Vet recommends surgery but I really don’t want him to go through anasthesia again. He was just neutered about a month ago. I don’t know why the vet did not spot it when I took him in for neutering. He did perform digital palpation on the rectum at the time. I was told everything was fine.
Avatar n tn When we flew on a plane from Germany to the states my dog was urinating blood after the plane ride. We took him to an emergency vet and they tested him for kidney stones and urinary tract infection. He had trace amounts of infection so he was prescribed antibiotics but my dog still urinates blood after running and after marking. I have taken him to the vet again and they cannot find an answer. He Ph levels are perfect, no kidney stones, and no infection.
