My dog's penis is swollen. What first aid can I give him now?

Question

My dog has a swollen penis can i use entederm ointment to help him until take him to the vet ?

Ouch, poor guy! Plain Vaseline is better than a medication like entederm, so I’d use that to see if it helps him slide back in. However, that looks frighteningly swollen, and if it doesn’t go back in, he does need to go in to the vet. If that’s stuck out and continues to swell, the blood supply to the tip will become compromised. Sprinkling a generous amount of raw plain sugar on the exposed tip may help bring the swelling down. But, if you’re not having luck in the next hour or so, I recommend bringing him in. Hope this helps. Good luck!
