AboutNicole Expertise I will offer assistance to anyone needing help with general Basset Hound care, health and behavior/training.
I do not, however, assist those who have bred their pet. If you are responsibly breeding, you shouldn't have simple questions as your mentor should be providing you all the instruction you need.
Experience I currently own a 5 year old Basset Hound and his 6 non-basset siblings...(a mutt and 5 Boxers). I have studied dog behavior and training extensively and train my own dogs.
Organizations Buckeye Boxer Rescue
Education/Credentials I was a certified obedience instructor and a certified potty-training instructor with Petsmart and studied under a canine behaviorist.
Question My basset has rubbed his testicle sack raw. We just moved out to the country.
He is rubbing on the snow, twigs and what ever. is there a protective garment
available he can wear? How can I prevent him from licking them( It seems to be
Making the problem worse)?
Answer The only thing I can think of that may help are the diaper pants for females in heat. You can find them at Petsmart, Pet Supplies, Petco, etc. They look like little denim diaper covers.
If his testicle sack is raw and it's continuing to be irritated, he needs to see a vet. He may give him some antibiotic ointment and fit him with an e-collar so he can't get to them.
