Today We tried a perimeter shock collar on our kangal (anatolian shephard) because he like to kill poultry and small animals such as possums and ground hogs. He keep jumping the fence and this seemed to be our only option. I checked on him all day. This afternoon I saw another dog at the fence (possibly a female). He is an altered male. When I called him to the porch his penis was swollen, exposed and bloody. I assume he just got overly excited due to the new dog coming around. now 5pm it is sti

It sounds like he is suffering from paraphimosis, which is an inability to retract the penis back into the sheath. This can quickly turn into an emergency situation, as constricting of the blood flow will lead to a larger engorgement of the penis, necrosis (dead tissue), and potential damage to the urethra. If his penis hasn't been out too long (less than an hour), you can try to put it back yourself. First, thoroughly clean the penis, making sure there is no foreign material (such as fur) that is wrapped around the penis. Take a bag of frozen veggies wrapped in a towel, and apply it to the penis for five minutes at a time to try to reduce the swelling. Packaged peas work very well because they are mobile around the penis. Then apply a lubricant such as KY Jelly onto the penis, and very gently try to move the penis back into the sheath. Very gently try to push the penis back into the sheath, or try to gently pull the sheath over the penis. If this does not work, or if the penis has been outside the sheath for more than 30 minutes to an hour, you will need to take Butch into your vet.
