Whose Penis Is Normal?

[AbiS]

Well there's a title I didn't think I would ever write!

I have just been weighing and checking Toby & Barney over. Barney came first. All fine (or so I thought). He has always had a protruding penis, I just put it down to him being well-endowed but now I'm wondering if it is not 'normal'. If you are on the same level as him and he runs away you can quite clearly see his winky under him. He has always been like this.

I then checked Toby over. You can usually see his winky as well, although his is not as big - he is a smaller piggy than Barney though (100g difference). But when I looked today I can not see his winky at all. Not even a little nubbin! If fact, if it wasn't for the fact that I have seen it in the past I would be double checking that he is a boy.

I now have no idea about what a normal piggy penis looks like! As far as I am aware they are both peeing normally.

I am going to get some photos later but I need MrS to help and he is out at work at the moment. Thought I would post now in case anyone had any suggestions before then.

I've had 4 piggy boys, and have not been able to see any of their winkies without deliberately expressing them. I wouldn't worry though, as long as they didn't look red or sore then I'm sure it's absolutely fine

One of my piggy's, Mitch has this problem. He's been like it since we got him about 9 months ago & I have cleaned it. There is a page on Peter Gurney's website about this problem. See:- http://www.oginet.com/pgurney/penprot.htm

After reading this I may investigate Mitch's problem further.

Actually, I've just remembered that Frankie developed a 'cauliflower willy' for a few months during his adolescent stage, when you could see part of his willy outside his body. This righted itself though.

Barney's looks totally healthy - not red or anything. It is covered by foreskin (I am really cringing while typing this). If it had ben red or inflamed I would have realised something was wrong sooner. MrS and I have often commented that it cant be nice dragging your winkie across the floor!

I will still trying to get some pics later. However I had already planned on taking them to the vet for a health check in May when the weather was hopefully warm but because of this I have just phoned vets and got an appointment with the exotics specialist on 2nd April - that was the first appointment I could get with the exotics lady and as his winkie doesn't seem to cause a problem I didn't think it was necessary to rush him in any sooner.

I am going to feel awful if there has been a problem for this whole time and I didn't realise!
