Im not sure how else to phrase the title, but I just wanted to make sure my male is going to be alright. Its been so cold that his urine is freezing and causing an Ice-sickle to form on his...well, we-we. he does not seem to be in any discomfort, or in pain when he pees, but when ever does do his business outside it freezes pretty quickly and an ice sickle forms. Today this one was around an inch and a half long, poor guy :(
Is this normal in the freezing temperatures? Should I do something about it? Or is it just one of those, nature happens things?
Bazaar question is bazaar, so im sorry :duc I just have never seen this before and I want to make sure my boy is ok.

Well I would assume that when he pees, the last icicle melts and it's replaced with a new one, so I don't think there are any blockage issues. So I don't think there is anything to worry about.

Yikes. I don't know of anything that could come from it as fact but maybe some kind of a oil would help to resist the water, and thus prevent the ice.

I think it has to melt for the most part, I mean urine does come out.
So you dont think frost bite or anything down in his nether regions should be a concern?

I think that's a good idea. Based on what you have said, I don't think that it is a problem. When he urinates, the sheath on his penis get's wet and that' where the icicles form. But, I think Pearces idea makes sense.

I'm so glad I live in NC. We are having our coldest night of the year tonight. High Teens.
