What should I do if my dog’s balls are red? Scrotal inflammation must be treated promptly!

What to do if your dog’s balls are red

Red balls on your dog may be a symptom of scrotal inflammation. Scrotal inflammation is a local inflammation of the scrotal skin that causes redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Reaction, usually caused by licking wounds in male dogs, has a big reason. Dogs with scrotal inflammation should be taken to the pet hospital for treatment. Anti-inflammatory drugs are usually taken orally or injected. At the same time, pay attention to the wound inflammation and apply non-irritating trauma ointment.

Causes of scrotal inflammation in dogs

2. Animals suffering from scrotal pyoderma often lick the scrotum, causing bacterial infection.
3. Bacterial infection of the reproductive tract of male animals caused by canine estrus.
