A good squirt of baby oil from a distance usually does the trick and loosens the worst of the gunk **ewwwww**, probably only do it every 6 months or so though.
Got rather confused then, i read this as cleaning wellies! got a nasty supprise! Thank god for mares! i love mine, would recomend one to anyone, no willy cleaning at all!
My old boy used to get a really really really yucky willy so i did his(with plain water though) and then if i didnt come a sweep up quickly before the dog came out for his walkies he would eat all of the black crusty yuck! ewwwwwwwwww
I did too, but when I re-read the title I decided I would wait till after my tea to read it! I have never washed Chex thingy, but I do have a glance whenever its out (not very often). Although even if I glance at it, its sucked back up before I can even think about cleaning it lol. Its weid, there was a post about this on another forum and every reply was about how you must clean it reguarly! I am relieved to read these replies!
I squirted with baby oil as my little shettie was getting the grease all down his back legs and you could see it was crusty, so when he got it out i quickly rubbed some baby oil on and squirted it all round the outside
. The following day all the crusty bits had fallen off!
Never. Did it once with sheath cleaning stuff and my horse had a reaction.... it swelled right up!! So never again. They dont get it cleaned it the wild so I say leave alone!
Swish some baby oil around his bits,wearing some latex vet exam gloves, I have known people who have taken the oppurtunity to clean their boy's bit when they have been sedated for clipping etc, sorry to be feeble but that is 1 of the reasons I like mares apart from the fact that you have the whole animal moods and all!!1
Cairo enjoys the hose up it in the summer especially when he is hot and sweaty. He gets it properly cleaned with a little sheath cleaner once a year.
Chancer is a problem, he is suffering from an itchy willy and gets lots of mud and grit in his sheath where he humps the ground - rinse him once a week with warm water and once a month with sheath cleaner or he gets black goo and it is not a nice smell. Hopefully the steriods he has started will clear it up.
Both mine love having their bits cleaned and their fav treat is for me to give them a good scratch just in front of the sheath and where the balls would have been.
