My dog has scratches on his privates after wrestling. Is it serious?

Question

our dog jumped onto the bed and howled so we checked around his body to make sure he was ok. we found these scratches on his pelvis/ privates. he seems to be in a good mood but wanted to make sure he was ok before we go to bed. he has a sister so it’s possible they were wrestling as well.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. The wound should heal, but be sure that he is not licking it as this will lead to an infection. He may need to wear an E-collar while he is healing. If the wound looks worse, becomes painful or develops a discharge, then he will need to see his veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
