My dog's penis is white with a red tip. Is this normal for dogs?

Question

Sounds weird - is it normal if my dog's penis is white? The tip is red, and I wouldn't have noticed accept he has recently had other issues (leaking urine, MRSA after neuter). Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 9 months old | 52 lbs

It's not a weird question! The dog's penis contains a bone called the os penis. This bone can give the penis a white color if the tissues are pulled tight on it. It's normal, and I wouldn't worry about it unless he's excessively licking at it, straining to urinate, or has blood in his urine :-)
