My dog's penis is bleeding after a jump. Is it a serious injury?

Question

My daughter's dog was jumping in to a vehicle and missed on his first attempt. After he got in she noticed blood dripping from his penis. Could this be a fracture? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 90 lbs

It is more likely to be a bruise - fractures are very rare and extremely painful. Monitor for continued bleeding or any difficulty urinating which would indicate the need for immediate veterinary attention. Encourage him to drink fluids in order to keep the system flushed out and reduce the risk of any blood clots become lodged
