Another Reason to Confine Your Intact Dog
This is an extremely sad, disgusting story but I think there may be some
merit in repeating it for 1. why you shouldn't let your dog roam. 2. why you should spay/neuter your dog. 3. why invisible fences aren't foolproof. Someone I know informed me today that his 7mo intact male dog, who was scheduled for neuter in February, just lost his penis yesterday. An invisible fence was installed two weeks ago so the pup could be out front while the owner was out there working. Owner was in the garage during this time. Bitch in heat comes walking into the yard, dogs hook up, bitch takes off, ripping pup's penis off in the process. Owner isn't aware of the mating going on but becomes immediately aware of the situation when the pup starts screaming. ER Vet is amputating the rest of the appendage and will create a man-made vagina in the male so he can urinate in the future. Prognosis is very good but well over $2,300 in expenses. Female dog's owner brought penis to the ER vet, I'm guessing she too decided to take her dog in when she discovered what was inside the dog, but it was too late to help. I've never heard of a dog being castrated like this. I'm assuming its due to the pup's young age as I know dogs get locked frequently after mating. Its just so sad that this happened. Had the bitch's owner kept her home things would be fine but as it turns out she's likely pregnant and he's now been demaled in the most literal sense of the word. -- Tara |

There's a whole lot of prospective BYBs that haven't a clue as to the kinds of injuries that can occur during a breeding. I've never heard of a dog being castrated like this. FWIW, this isn't technically a castration, which is removal of the testicles rather than removal of the penis. I'm assuming its due to the pup's young age as I know dogs get locked frequently after mating. Dogs tieing ("locking") during a breeding is the norm; slip matings (where there's no tie) are the exception. It's actually not uncommon for male dogs (regardless of age) to get injured during a breeding that's not supervised by a human that's experienced with these things. The most common breeding-related injury is probably where the bitch decides she's tired of the whole process and tries to take the dog's face off. Also, male dogs (unlike humans) have a bone in their penis that can be broken during a mating. I've never heard of an amputation occurring during a mating, but did have one friend who's dog's penis had to be partially amputated - not because a breeding injury; I think it was due to an infection IRRC. Then there's a story I heard just yesterday: someone was asking on an email list about possible consequences of a dog tieing her bitch in her rectum. I've got no more details on the story than that and considering that no one on the list stepped forward with any advice figure that this is probably a rare occurence. Its just so sad that this happened. Yes. Poor dog. Thanks for sharing the story - hopefully you will have saved other dogs from experiencing related traumas. Dianne |

Well, Mr. Noah had an inch or so of his manliness removed, apparently the victim of persistent self-abuse. I suppose you might categorize this as a "non-breeding" injury... -- Mary H. and the Ames National Zoo: Raise A Fund, ANZ Babylon Ranger, ANZ MarmaDUKE, and Rotund Rhia |

You know, for all that I don't consider myself a total ignoramus, I truly wasn't aware that castration only pertained to the testicles. I've always heard it as a threat to removing a penis, it was even used in the news articles going around during the Bobbit case. Learn something new everyday.

Thanks, I knew injuries were common but the amputation described just flabbergasted me. Things may get ugly now. Owner of male dog says he's going to take the ER bill to owner of female dog because A) his dog was injured on his property by loose dog and B) the town has leash laws. He's so upset about what happened that he may even be considering pressing charges for ignoring the leash laws and/or filing suit if the bitch's owner isn't willing to accept some sort of financial responsibility. I hope that doesn't happen as I think a valuable lesson has been learned by all (just a shame it would take something like this for that to happen) and I'd truly hate to see what the media would do with such a story.

As gruesome as this sounds, It would be very interesting to see how this turns
out...not just if both dogs are ok but how the bill and law is interpreted. Can you tell us the breeds involved? Does the owner of the male dog have any say in what happens to any potential offspring? what this dog meant to be shown and thus, that's why he wasn't neutered?

... Can you tell us the breeds involved? The male is a Min. Schnauzer not sure about the female. Does the owner of the male dog have any say in what happens to any potential offspring? I seriously doubt it. There was no contract in place for a breeding and without such a thing I can't imagine him having a leg to stand on with regards to any possible puppies produced. what this dog meant to be shown and thus, that's why he wasn't neutered? No but he was only 7mo and was scheduled for neutering. -- Tara |

I know of someone who intentionally bred their two dogs, and a similar thing happened (because she was too busy to actually supervise them) but the dog died as a result of blood loss due to the broken member. Sick, sad, and totally unnecessary - and this person didn't learn from that experience, either. She continued to acquire dogs to breed, killing another one by dropping it (it was a Chihuahua) and though she professed to "love" her dogs, her actions seemed to indicate otherwise... yuck.

I don't think the dog's owner is being unreasonable at all in demanding
money to cover the veterinary care. I hate those invisible fences for this reason, but none of the damage to his dog would have occurred if the bitch's owner had kept her confined. I'd think it was her responsibility if it was a fight related injury (though he'd bear some moral responsibility since there was no fence to protect his dog against irresponsible people's dogs) but considering it was a bitch in heat, that kind of negligence SHOULD be actionable. |
