Hello I have a 5 year old bichon frise. He is now currently sleeping but has had an erection for hours is this normal? Do I need to get him medical attention?

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Jax. It could be he is suffering from paraphimosis, which is an inability to retract the penis back into the sheath. This can quickly turn into an emergency situation, as constricting of the blood flow will lead to a larger engorgement of the penis, necrosis (dead tissue), and potential damage to the urethra. Given that his penis has been out for hours, I would say that yes he needs medical attention now. Please take him into an ER vet right away. Best of luck.
