My dog has a bleeding growth near his penis that burst. Is it serious?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 45 lbs
I took this poor guy in from a friend who found him he has this near his penis. It was filled with blood but recently, it burst I believe it opened when he was licking it. It was not really big at first but this is as big as it has gotten how do i stop the bleeding and is it something that will go away on its own?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. There is no way of knowing what it is just based on its appearance. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. This is not going to away on its own and needs attention. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!

These are some type of tumor/growth. I cannot tell you if they are benign or malignant...that would have to be done by analyzing the cells in these growths. The best option in this situation is to see your veterinarian to arrange to have them surgically removed and sent off for testing. If these are not removed, they will continue to get larger, likely become infected, bleed or may interfere with him being able to urinate if they get big enough. Unfortunately, there is no way for you to treat this on your own. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
