Balanoposthitis is an inflammation of the glans penis and the prepuce.
Causes
The yellow green discharge from this dog's prepuce is indicative of balanoposthitis.
In dogs, balanoposthitis is caused by a disruption in the integumentary system, such as a wound or intrusion of a foreign body.[1] A dog with this condition behaves normally, with the exception of excessive licking at the prepuce, and a yellow green, pus-like discharge is usually present. [1]
In sheep (rams/wethers), ulcerative enzootic balanoposthitis is caused by the Corynebacterium renale group (C. renale, C. pilosum & C. cystidis). It is also known as "pizzle rot".
For the condition in bulls, caused by a virus see Bovine herpesvirus 1.
