My dog has penis discharge but acts normal. Is it smegma or infection?

Question

My 2 year old black lab has discharge appearing at the tip of his penis/sheath. Eating & playing is great, no trouble urinating. Can I attempt to clear this up myself with home remedy? Will have to try and get a photo when it appears on the sheath. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 2 years and 4 months old | 87 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You may be referring to smegma which does not need to be treated necessarily. If that is the case, it should just be a tiny amount at the tip. If it is more than that or just dripping it may be an infection in which case a visit to a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment would be indicated. Best of luck!
