You can try to put some water with diluted 3-4 tablespoons of sugar on it, spraying it and then it should be able to get back. First mix the sugar to the hot water then add cold water to make it cooler. If it doesn’t work you need to take him to the emergency vet.

I am so sorry to hear that Fudgee is so hurt. This is a major wound that needs immediate veterinary medical care. Reconstructive surgery may be needed to facilitate coverage and protect the penis. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by a veterinarian immediately. Best of luck and I hope he heals quickly. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Poor Capone, it sounds like his recovery has been rough. I suggest instead of using neosporin, use KY jelly or another water based lubricant as they are more gentle to the sensitive tissue of his penis. Your vet may suggest applying a suture to the end of his sheath to keep the penis inside the sheath and reduce swelling. I know it sounds odd but applying sugar to the area can draw out fluid and reduce swelling allowing it to return to its normal place. You might want to get a second opinion from a different vet who can determine whether any other long term damage has been caused.
