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.

Im 18 and i have an external hemorrhoid about the size of a blueberry…I have been taking care of it with prep h…it doesnt hurt anymore unless i tense up my butt lol but I guess what Im asking is if I will have that bump forever…if its normal…and if It will shrink and go back where it needs to be?? and Can I go swimming?

i dont have blood or mucous discharge but after pooping, my butt itches, it sometimes burns and i feel pins and needle type of pain..after a bowel movement there is some leakage of feces, that is a symptom of hemorrhoid according to mayoclinic..i want to know if hemorrhoid can be cured without surgery? If so, which medicine is the best? I dont want to temporary relief, i want to get rid of hemorrhoids completely..and is there any bad effect of medicine, if i dont have hemorrhoids, if something else is causing the discomfort?

I’VE HAD HEMORRHOIDS BEFORE BUT MY STOOL WAS NORMAL, NOT TOO DRY OR TOO SOFT BUT THERE WERE LOTS OF BLOODS IN MY STOOL, IT WAS REALLY BAD AT THAT PARTICULAR DAY.

TODAY THOUGH MY STOOL WAS REALLY BAD, IT WAS SO BAD, I FELT LIKE I WAS GIVING BIRTH THERE. I SWORE, MY BUTT WAS RIPPED. AND IT WAS INDEED BLEEDING WHEN I WIPED IT BUT IT WASN’T AS BAD AS I THOUGHT. THERE WASN’T LOTS OF BLOOD
