My puppy's bulbous glands are rock hard for hours. Should I worry?

Question

My 8 month old puppy’s bulbous glands are very hard and have been for a few hours now. I know they swell but this seems abnormal, they are extremely hard like rocks and have been this way for a while now. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 14 days old | 45 lbs

First, stop touching the area since extra stimulation will keep them enlarged. As long as the penis is still within the prepuce (covered by the hair part), it is not a concern and will go down when the visual, smell, or physical stimulation is gone. If there are in-heat dogs in your house or neighborhood, it may go on longer. Having him neutered will also help.
