Veterinarian here: ask me anything!

Wow, I wouldn't know what to make of that. I mean a zoo would avoid comments like that as to not draw any attention or suspicion. Then a non-zoo checking out a dog's genitals and complimenting it as a "pussy" is also far out there!

Well it was the working part, he know's she wasn't breeding with other dogs, so ya.

but nothing ever came of it, so I considered that a win. sort of wondering if he was zoo as well, or just a normie impressed with the late late woofy wifes gifts

Does he also have seasonal allergies? Sometimes the itchy ears are a cycle that flares up and then back down again. What sort of oil are you suggesting, and how do you see that helping his ears?

I don't know. Not seasonal I think, but I only got him in the summer. Maybe food related? He has quite a sensitive tummy.

Semen evaluation is amazing and really fun to do. You should be decent with 400x to look at the general morphology. If you want more detail, however, any basic lab microscope that contains the three most common objectives should cut it. Look in your vet or medical school colleges -- they often have an location where they auction out old equipment, and you can score a decent microscope from a retiring lab for quite cheap!

EDIT :
400x is excellent. I would never buy one without the lighting and lenses for what we call ‘interferens mikroskopi’.
It provides a much better contrast, so it is easy to see bacteriae. With normal lighting it is difficult to identify the bacteria because you are easy blinded by the background light.

I have used it a lot for bacteriae in urin samples.
And had a look on human semen too 😊

I was very scared of her first vet visit after our first time... and I was scared of my first gynecological visit too. the first was done about a month ago and the vet explicitly asked me if by any chance we "finally" mated him. In short, she definitely noticed that something in her sexual life had changed! I told her yes and that was it... he's fine and, in fact, better than last year!
The second visit, mine however, I still have to do. I don't think he'll see anything strange in me... but I have some anxiety and I think it's normal. Maybe the gynecologist will notice that my sex life has become much more regular than before. After all, I'm very young. We will see! Sooner or later I'll have to do it: if anything, I'll tell you how it went.

And here's my question... I read somewhere that in the case of a confirmed zoonosis the doctor is obliged to report the case. I also imagine that it depends a lot on the country in which it is diagnosed. In your opinion, what could be the zoonoses that could be reported to the competent authorities?

Most, if not all, zoonoses aren't specifically tied to sexual contact so there wouldn't be any suspicion on your part. The most common canine one is leptospirosis, which occurs primarily in free roaming dogs and happens when a dog sniffs, licks, or eats something that has urine from a wild animal. It's a blood disease (not to be confused with bloodborne), and affects their muscles. They will seem lethargic, not as strong, may show pain when walking, and may occasionally show symptoms of a cold or other respiratory afflictions. While the vaccine is optional in most areas, many dogs receive it and your vet should usually ask if you want it administered.

While sexual contact IS a way to transmit zoonoses, it's not the only way. The other big zoonoses is rabies. That's the only one where I know it has to be reported. I am unaware of the need to report others, unless you live outside America.

But that's just my limited knowledge from the short amount of schooling I received. @Deagle113 can clarify whether I'm being stupid or not lol

Howdy zooville!

I work as a mixed animal veterinarian, and am willing to answer any and all animal health questions you may have to the best of my ability. Keep in mind that I’m only one person, and my medical opinion is just that—an opinion, however well informed it may be.

Anything you’re curious about?

Edit: feel free to Dm me if needed!

I know how knotting works in canines, but I've heard of cases where Penis captivus has happened on Canines and Equines... Is it even possible with female canines? I doubt a male human can really be stuck to either female animal

Too many non sexual ways for that to happen, to make report-able, if zoonosis, perhaps just poor hand hygiene, wish them luck in proving other wise!

With dogs, can lyme disease cause inflamation?
Long story short i had a husky that had it and we only found out when we had to take him to the vet for a severe prostate inflamation, they dint tell us the inflamation was caused by it but we got told he was on a lyme "crisis" on the side. and many year later someone that work with horses told me that lyme could cause inflamation for horses and that for dogs it was the same? But i wasnt sure it was true since theyre not a vet
