ok guys please don't think i'm weird, but our "mutt" just got neutered tuesday and when i went home for lunch i "checked" him out to make sure he hasn't messed with the stitches or anything like that. now keep in mind i don't know anything about male dogs. anyways i noticed on each side at the base of his penis there are 2 "knot or ball" looking things. one was a little bit bigger than the other and they weren't red or warm to the touch nor did it seem to hurt him. the skin aroud it did feel a little tight. when i "checked" him yesterday i didn't notice that but i'm quilty of not always paying close attention. is this normal, what is it??? b/c if something is wrong i'm out the door and on the way to the vet, work can wait. please tell me i'm just paranoid.

That is the place where the penis swells during a "tie",breeding ..it will take a bit of time to recover from the neutering and not swell up from time to time..he will forgot what it is for..hopefully! LOL
I know there is a medical name for it.but I am lousy at that stuff..
