one of our cobs had a swollen sheath, i got the vet out and he'd damaged the end of his dangly bits and it couldnt come out properly and go back in again, he was sedated and the vet got his whole arm up there to pull all sorts of manky stuff out, luckily with antiimflammaries and antibiotics it soon went down again and it could go in and out as normal, looked very painfull though!!! hope gordo gets better soon.

Nice Milo! He is able and willing (on his terms) to extract it and I can't see any damage. I will keep an eye on it and call vet if not improving.

Assume it's all ok no, but just was going to say Tigger had a swollen sheath and turned out he had a bad infection (it wasn't an infection of the sheath though) any way took about a month to come right. He was showing other signs like being low and not eating too.
Another time he was walking lame on the back and turned out his bits needed cleaning then he was fine again lol! He gets cleaned regularly now but I hate it, thing is you have to go for it, any tickling he doesn't like, if you just get in there and do it he doesn't seem to mind :-)

Well I spoke to vet the other day and he wasn't worried, said it was more than likely due to the lack of inactivity and, if he was to develop swelling anywhere else to call him. If bits look clean and don't smell bad then not to worry. Guess I need to keep up the bathing then!!

My boy gets a swollen sheath when he is inactive, but he is also very mucky down there in general. I think being stabled for longer makes him even muckier. Luckily he's very good about being cleaned, but I only 'did' him a few weeks ago, and he needs doing again . I try to keep sheath cleaning to a minimum, as I know it can destroy the good bacteria that live there as well as flush out the bad. I think he was gelded late, and my theory is that there's more loose flesh to collect grime? Could be completely wrong there of course!
