Please help me understand if my dog is experiencing dog hemorrhoids. So a couple of days ago, I had my nearly 5 year old, 6lb chihuahua neutered. I know I waited forever to neuter him but he’s originally a family dog and I had no consent until now. Anyways, after bringing him home, he had the usual complications of a newly neutered dog but recovered just fine. The only thing that bothers me is that he has really limited swelling on his incision area where the suture is, could that be an infection? It’s not red or anything but it is a bit swollen. Also while he was at the vet, he had his temperature checked through his rectum and ever since coming back from the surgery, he hasn’t been pooping and the rectum area is a bit swollen…is that external hemorrhoids or could the swelling be from checking the temperature through the rectum prior to surgery? Please help me understand…I just want my dog to be ok. Today is Sunday and my vets office is closed and I’m worried about my dog. Also if you have any suggestions or homeopathic remedies I can use to reduce the rectal swelling and get him to poop, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I forgot to mention that prior to going to the vet to get him neutered, he didn’t have anal swelling and was pooping just fine. After going to the vet and having them shove a thermometer up his butt, he’s been having these problems. All your help will greatly be appreciated…Thank you.
Yes he has been eating and drinking normally. He dosen’t seem to be upset but he hasn’t pooped so I will call the emergency and get some more advice. Thank you for all your help.
I gave him a tablespoon of plain yogurt and an hour later he finally pooped. I think he’s still uncomfortable because of the swelling and I’ll find out whats wrong when I take him to the vet tomorrow. So plain yogurt works.

I don’t have ED, but I have occasionally used Cialis or Viagra when I’m not feeling 100% confident with a new sexual partner. I have had an occasional hemorrhoid condition which brings me to this forum. I’m wondering if there might be a connection between the drugs used to treat ED (i.e. Cialis) and hemorrhoids.
Let me share my experience. About two years ago, I took some Cialis and within a couple days developed my first known hemorrhoid condition. I thought it was just a coincidence. After adjusting my diet and adhering to other remedies the hemorrhoid disappeared. Everything has been relatively normal since then. However, 6 days ago, I took a Cialis pill and within 24 hours, my hemorrhoid condition was back. This time the hemorrhoid is a bit more pronounced and it appears it has ruptured since there has been some moderate bleeding (which is freaking me out). Is it a coincidence again or do you think there might be a connection?

Spread to the ovaries and the abdomen too now.Originally thought to be ibs.

I’ve had my hemorrhoid (external) for about a week now I’ve been to ER because it was getting unbearable, and they gave me suppositories (they don’t do much of anything) and some kinda spray. What I wanted to know is when will it leave? Should I use Preparation H? Its really small big and it doesn’t hurt anymore its just there. And my final question is can you have sex..should I tell my boyfriend as well? Like I said it doesn’t hurt anymore its just kinda there I’ve never had this before so this is very much embarrassing.

Serious answers only please!
When I went to the ER they told me I more than likely won’t need surgery. Its not bleeding, I’m in no pain nothing at all. I just want to know when will it leave and can I have sex…

i just had a baby 7 weeks ago and i think that i have a hemorrhoid from my delivery. When i use the bathroom, which has only been about three time in the past 7 weeks, it bleeds allot. and it is painful. so my question is can you get rid of them or do they stay for ever?
