The anatomy appears incorrectly developed. Your pet may be a hermaphrodite. What you see there may actually be female genitalia that has inappropriately developed. In order to truly diagnose what is going on your pet should see a specialist. Abdominal ultrasound can be used to assess for undescended testicles. Surgery is sometimes needed for these dogs, which typically requires a veterinary surgeon. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
