    Re: [RC] Sheath? What sheath? - Heidi Smith


    >Naive question.... how many times a year are you "supposed" to do this??
     
    All depends on the individual horse--some need it every few months, and some never do.
     
    >and my next question is from my friend in California who wanted me to ask: What happens if you never do it? She had never heard of this sheath cleaning.
     
    If she is lucky enough to have one of those geldings that just doesn't produce much smegma, or who drops enough to keep himself clean, nothing will happen.  If not, he will eventually have enough irritation to cause inflamation and swelling in the sheath, and meanwhile will suffer discomfort.
