Puppy with 2 pea sized lumps?
Yesterday night when I was playing with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, I noticed that he had these 2 pea sized lumps behind his groin area, and below his bum area. The lumps are not his testicles, they are behind that area.
He is 7 months old, and so far has had no health issues.
The lumps feel like tissue and are pea sized. I will be calling the vet as soon as they open this morning, and taking him in, but I was hoping someone with experience with the breed, or experience with these sort of lumps could give me an idea of what it could be?
I am taking him to a vet, but I just like to research things and possible illnesses, so that I am not going in blind. Thanks :)
I googled the Bulbus Glandas and the area it shows them in is not the same as where I can feel them.... I am going to keep reading though and see what I find... I will probably still call the vet just to be sure. Thank you :)

Are they more like on either side of his penis? If so, that would be the Bulbus Glandis. The is part of the normal anatomy of a male dog, and is what swells up inside a b*tches while breeding, creating the *tie.* These are most visible when a puppy/dog either gets very exited, or even when they have to pee pretty bad. So, IF this is what you're talking about, there's certainly no need for a Vet. As stated, this is normal for all male dogs whether they're intact or castrated. Castration removes the testicles, but the Bulbus Glandis remains. You can Google this if you'd like more information.

If these are the means of effecting the 'tie', ask your vet - it will make his day. LOL. On the other hand, the Bulbus Glandis are forward of the testicles, just behind the penis so if these lumps are where you describe, behind the testicles, this may not be what you have discovered, and for sure, they do need to be checked by a vet. Wait for your vet's diagnosis - researching may well scare you, unnecessarily!!

If you mean at the base of his penis then they are definitely his bulbus glands and this is totally normal. They will normally only protrude when aroused and that can be even on waking.
