Guest Anonymous Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 My male, neutered GSD puppy (7 mos) has an almost constant erection. He had this problem before he was neutered as well. My vet says she has never seen anything like this particular problem. My kids can't play with the dog or anything without it getting 'excited'. Is this common among male dogs? I have only owned female dogs up to this point. He doesn't seem to be in pain, and doesn't seem to have any bleeding or inflammation. Just a continual erection. Any help with this problem would be most appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon_C Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 It is common in neutered or uneutered dogs, especially as your German Shepherd is still young...he is still only a baby and his hormones are still on the go, give him time...as he gets older, it will be back to normal again. Can I ask how old he was when you had him done ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon_C Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Your Welcome. What I can suggest in the long run is to try and distract Jack with his favourite toy, or if this doesn't work, you could spray Jack with a water pistol or something else. Do this everytime he gets excited round your children saying (NO) in a firm voice and send him to his bed, make him stay there. Be firm with your dog, if you dont already do so' but dont smack him, just show him whos boss. I had this problem with both my males, but only with my other dog who is female, no children, so that wasn't a problem for us. I used the NO word and sent them to there beds. If your children play rough with Jack, rolling over the floor, which children do, then this could be triggering the excitement even though he as been neutered. Do you take your dog to training school, this could help...he will be socialising with other dogs and people, and will probably take his mind of his sexual behaviour. (THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION) I dont have children myself, so I carn't give you much advice, only what I mentioned. I hope it helps!
