Puppy's penis red/swollen after accident. Vet or home remedy?

Question

My Italian greyhound puppy Is 14 weeks old. Second set of shots. He just had an unknown kind of accident. His tip of his penis is slightly red and swollen. However, he urinated, and shows no sign of pain or discomfort. Should I take him to the vet? Is there a home remedy, like peroxide, I can put on him to avoid infection? Pet's info: Dog | Italian Greyhound | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 9 days old | 5 lbs

Yes, I would recommend having him examine by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. It is hard to say for sure from the blurry photo but it appears as though the tip of the penis is stuck out of the prepuce. It looks as though Oliver has paraphimosis (inability to completely retract the penis into the prepuce) and this can be caused by a number of things. It would be best to have the veterinarian take a look at this for the most appropriate treatment recommendations. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
