Why are my 11-month dog's testicles red, swollen, and painful?

Question

Good afternoon! Our 11-month old dog is crying for pain for at least three weeks now. We don't know the reason why and we can't even bring him to the vet because of financial problem. We just assumed that our dog is suffering pain from his penis because his legs are shaking and there are times that he is looking for his penis as if telling us that it is in pain. And we noticed that his testes are getting red and larger than the normal puppies. We hope to gain answer to help our dog. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 10 months and 25 days old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Gino! Is Gino eating and drinking? Is he urinating? Is there anyway you can re-post with pictures? Gino could have a testicular torsion, urethral prolapse (especially if you are seeing blood at his penis), a urinary tract infection or simply a skin infection on his belly or testicles or even fleas. I recommend extruding his penis and looking at the tip, checking his skin for fleas and pustules or red bumps. And if he is having trouble urinating and/or isn't eating he needs to see a Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Gino the best!
