Is white creamy discharge from my neutered dog's penis normal?

Question

Hello, my 5 yo neutered American Bulldog has a white creamy (puss) looking discharge at the tip of his penis. Is there a basic home remedy you can recommend as I can't really afford a Vet if it can be avoided. THANK YOU! Pet's info: Dog | American Bulldog | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 110 lbs

It is quite possible that the discharge you are seeing is smegma. This is a normal occurrence in dogs. It does have more frequently in dogs that have not yet been neutered, but can occur in any male dog. I would just wipe it with a clean towel. If it keeps coming back, if the penis becomes discolored, if Bailey seems painful, or if he has trouble urinating, this could indicate infection and Bailey would need to be seen by a vet as soon as possible.
