I shouldn’t have clicked on the turtle video. That took 30 years off my life and I haven’t even reached 30 yet… Besides that, thank you for the article! I’ve been curious about this subject for years and I’m considering studying towards becoming a veterinarian. It was quick and easy to read and straight to the point.

Hey there, Katie.
I’m super glad you enjoyed the article, but I am not super stoked about your description of your dog’s penis.
I have never seen (or even heard of) a baculum protruding through the penile tissue.

It sounds like it’s time for a call to the vet.
Best of luck — my fingers are crossed for your doggo.

Thank you for the informative and humorous article. I stumbled upon your site while searching for more info about the appearance of my dogs “red rocket”
He was sitting and I noticed it poke out a bit but this time it appeared a bit irritated with a small area of increased redness as well as what appeared to be his baculum! Is it possible for it to erode through the penile tissue? Or is it normal to be able to visualize it? He didn’t appear to be in pain although he also didn’t appreciate my impromptu examination. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hey there, Megan.
Not sure if you mean that happens to your specific dog or you mean it more broadly, but the red rocket also comes out when dogs are standing or laying on their backs or sides.
Thanks for checking out the site!
