    Re: [RC] hesitates to urinate - Lindak


    My six y.o. TWH gelding had a serious problem about a year and a half ago.  He stretched out continually before and after he peed.  Turned out he had a serious bladder infection.  This was NOT diagnosed in the urinalysis, or the ultrasound, or the physical exam by the vets.  It took a scoping at the clinic.  And the vet said he probably picked up the infection because his auto waterer was filling TOO slowly so he wasn't drinking enough to pee enough to flush out the bacteria that normally reside inside the sheath, penis, bladder, etc. I suggest a thorough exam by a competent vet. (And monitor horse's water consumption.) Hope this helps.
