Why does my puppy have a bump near his penis that comes and goes?

Question

My 12 week old puppy haD a capsule like, hard bump between the top of his Penis and testicles. It was movable from side to side. It is gone now. What does it mean? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 10 days old

I'm wondering if what you were feeling was Tuck's bulbourethral glands. These are located between the penis and testicles, and become enlarged when the dog is aroused or excited. They will then disappear after those feelings have passed. It is a normal part of a dog's anatomy :-)
