Dog has cyst-like bump on his penis

Has anyone experienced/seen this before? Do we think it will clear up on its own or should I bring him to the veterinarian? It looks like if it were to pop, pus would come out. He’s around 8 years old! TIA

Bleeding(?) or Irritated Paw

Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier Age: ~7mos Gender: Female Description: We just finished walking her about 15mins ago and left her in the bedroom by herself while we took the other dogs downstairs to be walked. When I came inside I noticed her toe on her front paw looks bloody but when I touch it she doesn’t act like it bothers her. She plays very hard, I actually posted a week or so ago about her chipping her tooth (she’s fine) and she’s constantly jumping very high in the air. I just want to be sure her foot is fine, it’s not leaving any blood anywhere it just concerns me a little bit. TIA!

My 2 Pomeranians always fight when I have company over

my 2 pomeranian boys age 2 and 3 (smaller one is younger) always fight relentlessly when i have company over. and its not just a regular little play fight its like they want to tear each other’s faces off. when im home alone they’re perfectly fine but anytime i have friends over or my roommate is here they fight and need to be seperated. ive hurt myself accidentally getting my hand in the middle of their fight before so now i grab them each from behind pull them away and bring them to seperate crates. they still go crazy barking and wilding out especially if they can see each other. when loco (the smaller one) was younger i had a roommate then as well and they never fought and seemed to get along well. they still get along well if its just me at home but im worried they might hurt each other badly one day.

Raised bump on dogs foot that he won’t quit licking

What is this? I’ve noticed it for a few weeks and my dog (large mutt, 70+ lbs) has been licking it constantly! His skin has also been very dandruff-y lately but I’m not sure if that has anything to do with this.

Anal glands?

My dog is licking at his rear and it looks like there might be some swelling around the anus. Does this mean he needs his glands expressed? Should I get him to the vet?

is it okay for dogs to drink ensures

my new dog is underweight, unfortunately we brought him like this which we love him but it sucks seeing a happy dog look like he hasn’t eaten even though his bowl is always full and he eats but he’s very picky and doesn’t like dry food. I’ve given him ensure plus but not a lot just a bit. Is it okay to give him some everyday or every other day even if it’s just half the bottle . He really loves it and milk in general and drinks it ALL. He’s also picky on wet food it’s just trial and error and so much money being wasted. I tried peanut butter but i dont see a difference but then again we haven’t been consistent with that because I’ve been told it’s a treat and he is not always so good so we only give him treats when he behaves and listens doesn’t make a mess inside the house. Or is there any dog milk I can buy so he can drink for weight gain? I also think he’s PICKIER then normal because at some point we had to get him babysitted and my sisters friend I BELIEVE was feeding human food we only believe this because he used to eat majority of his dog food and now he doesn’t eat as much but he was always underweight before that too so idk

At my wits end with a smelly dog

My dog is half Frenchie and half American bully, but looks fully like a bully so I’m assuming has the problems that come along with them. Recently he has started to smell so bad. Even after being groomed he immediately smells. The room that he sleeps in reeks and when I wash everything, it smells again the next day. I wash all his toys and bedding frequently but it doesn’t help. It smells mostly like corn chips I would say, which seems online to be a yeast or allergy? He wasn’t this bad as a puppy but has been getting worse as he gets older. I’m not sure if it’s diet related but as a puppy he was on Purina proplan puppy and now he’s on Purina proplan 70/30 sport (I think that’s what it’s called?) I bathe him every two weeks with Earthbath and apply a spray conditioner after. I bring him to the groomers monthly. It makes no difference. I don’t notice any skin issues or excessive scratching but he does lick his paws a ton. Also, inside his ears seem maybe pink and scaly but not red or irritated that I would worry about an ear infection. I also never see him scratching his ears. Are there any supplements that would help? Should I switch his foods? Put lotions on him? What can I do. I can’t deal with this. It’s to the point that when I open the door to the room he’s in, I feel like gagging. It’s not a poop or fishy smell, more reminds me of like stinky feet.
