What does dog flirting look like?

When your pup really does start to flirt, you may notice her turning her back on the male dog and moving her tail aside, so that he can sniff and lick at her private parts. That's the way dogs flirt.

Dogs have very different ways of expressing their sexual interests in another dog. That also varies greatly between the male and female of the species. The way they do it might not look like flirting as we know it. But, when the time is right, they have their own signals which they use to show the other dog that there's a mating possibility in the offing. Dogs are not like humans in the way we need a long courtship to build trust and respect in a relationship. They don't have the necessity to know the ins and outs of their prospective partner's personality to see if it suits their own. While male and female dogs are quite happy to reside in the same household without a flicker of sexual interest passing between them most of the time, if the female dog hasn't been neutered, then that can all change very swiftly. While we humans are genetically designed to maintain sexual relations on a very regular basis, our canine friends are different to us and the female pup is only happy to mate about twice a year. And they say it's a dog's life? Well, not on the sexual front, it's not. The male can't get a look in until the female is physically ready and producing the right hormones which stimulate both their interests in having relations. When that happens, you will see your pup flirting. When a female pup is ready to attract the attention of a male dog, the first thing he'll notice is the smell she's giving off. No, it won't be Chanel No 5 or the shampoo you used last time you gave her a bath. It'll be her natural odour which is getting him all excited. That scent is all part and parcel of the process and precedes the moment the female will begin to show actual physical signs of the desire to go on a doggy date. When your pup really does start to flirt, you may notice her turning her back on the male dog and moving her tail aside, so that he can sniff and lick at her private parts. That's the way dogs flirt.

Can a dog live with an enlarged prostate?

While prostate enlargement is most likely benign, it is imperative to seek a veterinary diagnosis promptly, as it has several severe and even life-threatening potential causes. A dog's prostate gland is situated between the bladder and the rectum and produces prostatic fluid and is regulated by a dog's testosterone.

wagwalking.com - Prostate Enlargement in Dogs - Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis ...

Your dog may or may not exhibit symptoms beyond the enlargement of the prostate gland itself, and it may or may not feel pain as a result of the enlargement. Potential additional symptoms include:

Pain during and trouble urinating

Pain during and trouble defecating

Pain during and trouble walking, coupled with a hindered gait (short steps, stiff rear legs)

Constipation

Abnormal stools

Pain, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain

Types

- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is the most common cause of prostate enlargement. It occurs as a natural part of aging in the majority of unneutered male dogs, but does not occur in neutered male dogs. As the dog ages, the gland goes into hypertrophy, which means that the number and size of the cells in the prostate gland increase. As a result of BPH, benign cysts may develop. This condition puts pressure on surrounding tissue and may cause discomfort. Bacterial Infection - The second most common cause of prostate enlargement, bacteria may enter the prostate through the blood system or urinary tract and cause an infection. Bacterial infections may be acute or chronic and may present as abscesses, which are pockets of pus that form within the gland. Along with the typical symptoms of an enlarged prostate, those caused by bacterial infection are likely to also cause an elevated fever. Cancer - Prostatic cancer is rare in dogs, accounting for less than 10% of enlarged prostate cases; however, they are difficult to treat, are typically malignant and can be life-threatening. Prostatic cancers often metastasize into the liver, lungs, kidneys, lymph nodes, spine, and pelvic bones. Prostate enlargement may also occur as the result of another cancer metastasizing, often transitional cell carcinoma (cancer of the urinary system).
