A 3 year old German shepherd dog was presented with a history of inability of penis to retract into prepuce after coitus, dysuria, and anorexia with abducted hind limbs. The protruded penis was dry, oedematous and congested with dark purple patches. Manual conservative treatment using hygroscopic agents was failed to reduce the size of the penis. Hence it was treated by aspiration of blood that was blocked in cavernous spaces of penis, replaced it in preputial sheath after preputiotomy and closed with purse string sutures. By prompt post operative measures and antibiotic treatment, the dog recovered well.
