Our kitten Derek is 6 months old. We took him to the vet when he was quite small with a bleeding penis.
The vet said it was external trauma (as opposed to illness) and either he or his sister must have bitten it.
Confusingly, the injury was hidden, i.e. inside the furry bit. - and difficult to bite!
The problem is, it's happened three times since (Most recently today).
It doesn't bother him, he's eating fine and playing normally - being cheeky, and it heals on its own. Are we wrong to assume it's just rough play and he'll grow out of it?
The vet is as puzzled as we are - never seen anything like it.
I've found no similar stories on the internet.
Does anyone have ANY experience of something similar?
