    Re: [RC] Dryland Distemper - Jeanne Slominski


    The same thing happened to a friend's gelding. His sheath was sooo swollen, and he developed scar tissue. After 4-5 months, he started loosing weight. He ended up being up down. Nothing the vet tried seemed to help. He was a very nice horse, only a three yo.

    When it occurs in the chest and belly, it usually clears up completely, but
    in the sheath can be a different story.  My gelding had a horrible case about
    5 years ago that never drained on its own and had to be opened with surgery. 
    He has extensive scarring and enlargement of the sheath that still cause him
    problems all these years later.
