    Re: [RC] Sheath? What sheath? - EgyptianMirage


    I'll have to agree with you on that one, Howard.  I also want to add that if 
    your gelding's sheath starts to swell and when you call the vet about it, he 
    says "It's probably an insect bite".......that's code for "you need to clean 
    out his bean"!  
    
    Had this happen to me twice with two separate geldings I had purchased and I 
    found it hilariously funny that two separate vets said two separate times 
    that "It's an insect bite.  Let me come look at it."  I decided to clean 
    their sheath out first and, whala!  They were just fine!  I think maybe I'm 
    using the wrong vets, wouldn't ya say!
    
    Guess what I'm saying is I believe in doing preventative cleaning before the 
    bean starts effecting his ability to pee!   It may not bother the horse, for 
    all I know, but it sure makes me cringe when I walk out to a horses stall and 
    see two bowling balls (swelling!) hanging down under where his sheath used to 
    be!  :-)
