Is my dog's enlarged prostate causing his leg and testicle to swell?

Question

Is it medically possible for a dog to have an enlarged prostate that would cause one back leg and testicle swelling? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 8 years and 10 months old | 108 lbs

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

It is certainly possible. Prostatitis is very common in intact male dogs, especially GSD. The prostate enlargement may be benign but it may also be cancerous or a bacterial infection. The testicular and leg swelling is very concerning. ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/prostatic-disease-in-dogs )
