It’s not life threatening and you are doing the right thing to keep it inside the sheath and moist. Monitor his behavior to see if it happens when he’s excited or barking or whatever to see if changing something in his environment will reduce the frequency of this occurring. Your veterinarian may have other suggestions after he does an exam and makes sure everything is normal. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Luke.
