Cool picture! How many horses in that pic? I count 5.
Hey, anyone have trouble with a gelding having a swollen sheath? Tuffy's sheath is HUGE. My shoer was out yesterday and all I could get out of him was jokes. I must admit, he was pretty funny. I got Tuffy out of his stall, put him on the crossties and had my shoer bend down to look while I poked around on Tuffy. The obvious joke of, "I'd be swollen too, if you did that to me," ruined any seriousness I tried to muster.
Anyway, if it's still huge this morning I'm gonna have to call that good looking vet and discuss Tuffy's private parts. I'd sure as heck rather be calling him for something else, a lameness, a snotty nose, anything is better than a swollen sheath.
Just needs cleaned real good. I have to have the vet do Bay once a year or so, because Bay won't let me do it. "It" disappears so far up inside I can't find it. He needs a sedative. My stallion would drop if you looked at him nice, so I cleaned him myself.
Does his sheeth need to be cleaned? He might have smegma or other nasty irritations up in there. That's one thing I certainly don't miss.... sheeth cleaning. :-p
Tennessee's does that from time to time. It just needs a good cleaning with some Excalibur and lots of water, preferably warm, then take a real good glob of yellow Nitrofurizone ointment and put it up in there every few days. It'll go down.
