Why is my senior intact dog peeing often with a bloody penis?

Question

Male terrier, age 11 not fixed is asking to go outside constantly and pees frequently. Bowel movements are normal and 2 to 3 times a day. Constant picking of penis and penis pops out. It looks bloody but I have not seen any staining on sheets and cannot tell if there us blood in his urine. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | 10 years and 11 months old | 8 lbs

With Tigger's age and being intact he could have an enlarged prostate causing these signs, infection of his prostate gland or even a simple urinary tract infection. I recommend he get evaluated by his veterinarian as sometimes this will clear up with antibiotics but other times it does require neutering to decrease the size of the prostate gland if it's enlarged.
