My dog is licking his penis with stinky tan discharge. Is it a UTI?

Question

Hello, my dog has a tan discharge coming out of his penis that is pretty stinky. He is also constantly licking it. Would that indicate a UTI? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old | 170 lbs

Usually penile discharge is due to an infection of the penile tissue itself known as balanitis. His constant licking will be leading to more inflammation. Your vet should be able to treat this easily with antibiotics and it would be good to have him wear a cone to stop the licking whilst it heals.
