My dog has a wound on his privates. Vet or home treatment?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 60 lbs

My Pitbull Cooper has this on his privates. We don’t know where he got it from it doesn’t seem to hurt him but should we see a vet or can we use products like neosporen and maybe cone so he won’t get to it.

That's a very deep wound and may be related to an injury or even a tumor/growth within the testicles. It would be best to place a cone on Cooper and get him into a vet ASAP for care to have the area examined, tested, and treated.
