Unfortunately, it is illegal for us to prescribe any medications without physically examining the pet. Swelling of the scrotum could be caused by a bacterial or viral infection, tumor, wound, or an abscess. The treatment for these varied problems depends on the cause. I would recommend that you call your local animal control office so that they can catch the stray and get him the care he needs to prevent suffering.

A swollen scrotum is usually a sign of either a testicular infection or inflammation or a testicular torsion. This is usually very painful. Your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian. This may need to be treated with antibiotics, pain medicine and possible castration if severe. There are no home remedies for this, I am afraid.
