We think he has an infection (he's a springer spaniel). His balls are normally dark in colour -well I think they are, they're not something I pay too much attention to. Unlike he, who has been paying them far too much attention recently.
Anyway, tonight we notice that he has bright red slightly swollen patches on them, so he'll be off to the vets tomorrow.
Am hoping obv, that it's nothing too serious, but wondered if any other MNer had had this problem (or had a dog who had this problem to be more accurate) and if so, what the treatment might be.
I can give a dog tablets, I can bathe a dog's wound - I could probably even administer eye drops. I cannot however touch his balls - I know it's a long shot, but please someone, reassure me that I won't have to..
