What are the lumps on my dog's penis? Is his limping an emergency?

Question

My pitbull has two lumps on his penis in about the middle. He is somewhat limping with his back leg as if they're stiff but the lumps have gotten smaller after a few minutes. I dont have money to go to the vet I just need to know what it possibly is and if its a emergency and I need to find the money to take him? Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 90 lbs

If these lumps on Woofy's penis are in the middle of his penis, then likely what you are seeing are his bulbourethral glands. These are a normal part of a dog's anatomy, and swell when the dog is aroused or excited. This is not something you need to take him to an ER vet for :-) This limping may be caused by his arousal, but keep an eye on it for now. If the limping continues over the weekend, then I would have him seen by a vet, as it may have been caused by an injury which the vet can diagnose and treat.
