My dog's penis is bleeding during erection. Is this a vet emergency?

Question

My one year old dog's penis tip was bloody and dripping very slight drops of blood when he had an erection today and a time before that. Is there a need to take him to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 50 lbs

Hello. Dog's penises should NOT be dripping blood at any time. Also, if his penis is enlarged and red and stuck out this is an emergency right away. Dripping blood can be a concern with a urinary tract infection, polyps, urethral obstruction (stones, etc). prostatic disease (cysts, infection, etc). These all require a vet visit, so I would get him to the vet as soon as possible, especially if he seems painful or cannot pee (postures to pee but nothing comes out). Good luck with Dingo.
