My dog's swollen, red, hot genitals have milky discharge. Emergency?

Question

Hi! My 4yo male lab mix is behaving, eating, going potty all normal, but I noticed a few days ago his genital area looked like it was sagging. Now it is red, hot to the touch, his penis looks like it has a milky liquid and is swollen. He doesn't seem bothered at all, but I am concerned! Is there anything over the counter I can give him or is this an emergency? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years old | 126 lbs

Poor Luke! I worry he has some edema (swelling) and possibly an infection in that area. If he isn’t overweight and he doesn’t normal have this “pouch” around his prepuce then I would try to get him seen by a vet. The vet will be able to ensure his penis looks okay and there is no loss of circulation and see if he needs some anti-inflammatories and antibiotics to help it go down. I hope this helps!
