Pugh, in Sheep and Goat Medicine (Second Edition), 2012 Ulcerative Posthitis and Vulvovaginitis. Ulcerative posthitis, also known as enzootic balanoposthitis, pizzle rot, and sheath rot, is an infectious disease of the external genitalia of male small ruminants, with lesions also occurring in females.
In dogs, balanoposthitis is caused by a disruption in the integumentary system, such as a wound or intrusion of a foreign body. A dog with this condition behaves normally, with the exception of excessive licking at the prepuce, and a yellow green, pus-like discharge is usually present.Medical definition of balanoposthitis: inflammation of the glans penis and of the foreskin.
