Male parts help.

Ok so ozzie has a yellowish discharge from his penis constantly.
Ive read some discharge is normal but im unsure.

His wee is dark yellow and never does a long wee just lots of little ones could he have a problem

Does he drink enough?

Yeah i think so he has water in his crate in kitchen and a bowl in the living room.
Hes only allowed in living room during the day with me.

Sounds normal our male is much the same. Has he been castrated

The discharge is normal at that age but the colour is usual determined on the amount they have drunk. I'm not too sure though

If his urine is darker than usual, it usually indicates dehydration. Judging from the amount you say he drinks and how often he urinates, there may possibly be an infection or obstruction.

Is there any odour and/or irritation around the area?

No he's got everything down there haha

I had a male before and never saw any on him at all.

Just all the fur around the opening is yellow :/
He isnt licking or trying to get at it or anything.

When he tries to urinate, does he seem to be in any discomfort? And does he ever squat/* his leg and nothing comes out?

It could be a normal discharge called smegma, all male dogs have it but I think its more noticeable if they haven't been castrated. But if it smells unpleasant or the dog keeps licking it then I would suspect an infection which would need a Vets attention.

Occasionaly cocks his leg with nothing happening.
But its mostly just little wees, or dribble

Hmm. I'd wait and see if it continues for a while. If it does, you may want to consider a trip to the vets to make sure there are no infections or blockages. If you're concerned about an infection, you could take a urine sample down to the vets yourself and they could analyse it.

My boy has this occasionally, and he pees in several places... Marking territory. Nothing to worry about IMO. My boy been like it since 7mths old x

Romeo 'leaks' his manlyness all over the house, i thought there was something wrong with him too, romeos is normally milky very pale yellowish. but when he pisses its very pale and he wizzes a rushing river and then saves some to mark on our daily walks

Sorry to jump in with nothing constructive to add but how would you take a urine sample from a dog?

With a high risk of getting peed on! You'd need to take a jug with you on walks, and stick it underneath when they start to pee.

Been there. Done that.

haha, I think I'd pay one of the kids to do it if ever would be needed.

Oh, how lovely it is to have a dog!

Yep. Urine samples, cleaning backsides after bum gravy, pulling grass out of backsides............wonderful!

Just goes to show how insane I am - I've been doing all that for 42 years!

Unfortunately, Dempsey screams when we pull grass out of his behind. Loudly.

Very loudly.

And there's always somebody around to think we're murdering him.

Yep. Always.

Pale yellow is his sheath lube, sorry to be so graphic. If it turns greenish and smells it can be sign of infection. You can pull back and wash if your brave, ive had to do my boy once and he was okay again after a day just look out for redness and prolonged green smeg and smell whereby a trp to vet is best for a checkup.

Mind you, the easiest way is to politely ask him to pee in the jug which you'll just place on the floor for him. I'm sure he'll oblige as long as you turn your back - you don't want to embarrass him!

Sounds like he could be marking.

Follow him around the garden, and catch his wee in a old cup lol
