My dog is having trouble walking and his penis is swollen and sticking out. I have considered paraphimosis, although he is not sexually active.

Dogs can become sexually aroused even if they aren't sexually active, getting an erection. If his penis is swollen and sticking out, I would be concerned that the swelling could potentially constrict his urethra, leading to difficulty urinating. Because he's having trouble walking and his penis is swollen, I recommend you taking him into your vet to have the paraphimosis resolved. It's important to have him seen now, as it's causing him difficulty walking and you don't want it to lead to a constriction of the urethra.

Hello. I feel the next step would be to investigate the prostate. An enlarged or swollen penis would imply lack of drainage of fluids from the penis, so checking to see if his lymph nodes are enlarged would be a good place to look as well. I would discuss these options with your vet as a next step. Good luck with Diego.
