Dog knot stuck usually occurs due to anatomical defects in the reproductive tract of either male, female or both. Females, when at a younger age, may more commonly experience the condition, therefore immature females should never be preferred for breeding. Similarly, male dogs with health problems related to hypertension and the cardiovascular system may more often experience a dog knot problem due to prolonged swelling of the knot or bulbus.
A knot tying is normal and unique feature of dog mating (breeding). Dogs mode of reproduction, its physiology and anatomy of reproductive organs is responsible for it. The normal process of mating in dog couples has different stages, of which last stage is called “tying” or “knotting”. This “tying” or “knotting” results from swelling of bulbus glandis (also called a knot), which is an erectile tissue structure located on the ventral side of the dogs penis. A dog knot tying is a normal procedure and may persist for 2 – 30 minutes.
Some breeds and middle aged dogs may have characteristics such as a prolonged ejaculation of the third fraction of semen; therefore tying may persist for more than an hour. During this, both male and female may feel discomfort due to the long duration and pretend to be experiencing a dog knot stuck. Such cases of dog knot stuck usually resolve on its own. Sometimes blood discharge that occurs during copulation may be misunderstood, but mostly these blood fractions are shed by the female reproductive tract, which is a normal mechanism. Cases of dog knot stuck should be attended by proper handling. Forceful pulling apart the male and female or throwing water on them during copulation can lead to a dog knot stuck problem and serious complications. However, an owner should only interfere or call a veterinarian if the time of tie is extended well above the normal. Both male and female should be checked after the act of mating for any injuries and complications that affect the reproductive organs. Minor injuries and bruises are normal over the female vulva and the male penis may become inflamed and sore for a few hours after copulation due to intense tying. Other symptoms, except the minor inflammations and bruising described should be immediately reported to a veterinarian and proper treatment/management should be done. Related News

In such cases, both partners may experience severe injuries and bruises, which may leave a dog with secondary complications in later stages of the problem.

Dog penis knot which is stuck is an abnormality in a normal act of dog breeding. It is generally indicated in cases where the tying persists after 45 – 60 minutes of copulation. Symptoms of discomfort, torsion (twisted), pain, blood discharge and aggression in both the male and female surely represents a serious dog knot stuck problem.

These conditions require a veterinarians attention.
Summary:
“A dog knot becoming stuck is a problem is unique to dogs. A dogs mode of reproduction and reproduction anatomy is comparatively unique to other animals and humans, which is why dogs possess a different physiology as well. The normal process of mating in dog couples has different stages, of which the last stage is called âtyingâ or “knotting”. This tying results from a swelling of the ventral part of the vascular bulb on a dogs penis, generally called the âdog penis knotâ.
A dog knot tying is a normal occurrence and may persist for 2 â 30 minutes. If the dog knot is tied for a longer period of time it is referred to as the dog knot being stuck. In such cases, both partners may experience severe injuries and bruises, which may leave a dog with secondary complications in later stages of the problem.
The male dog then proceeds to position his prepuce behind the proximity of the female’s vulva. The female elevates her hind quarter and lowers her front quarter. The copulation begins when the glans has entered the vulva. The male will then thrust. In some cases, the female will experience discomfort if she is too young or has some reproductive issues.
This prevents the penis from withdrawing until the dog has ejaculated inside. The circular muscles also contract, stimulating the ejection of semen.
When a female is in heat and has found the perfect partner, she will become calm and allow the male to mount her. At this stage, the penis is semi-erect or not erect at all. The process of mounting is described as the act of the male dog grabbing the female from her ribs.
Dog knot – The bulbus glandis, also known as knot, or dog knot, is an erectile tissue located at the top of the penis of dogs. During copulation, this tissue swells and locks up inside the female’s vagina. When the knot is swollen inside the vagina, this tightens it up to complete the lockup.
