Gelding owners - help! (You know what this is about)

[Oldred]

Got my new boy out the stable this morning and as he stood there tied up a thin stream of clear(ish) liquid came out of his sheath/penis. Only went on for 30 seconds or so then stopped. I had a look at his sheath and looks okay, felt in entrance and found a few bits of black stuff (smegma I believe euhhgg). No pain. Cleaned a few bits out and squirted baby oil in. I don't think he'd just had a wee and his penis wasn't down.

Should I be worried? Is this normal? I haven't had many geldings.

Oldred - I'm not exactly sure what you mean (too innocent?!?). Are you talking about him having a short pee? The liquid was coming from where that would or somewhere else?

Afraid I'm a gelding person and never noticed anything like that...

Have you looked in any horse books or on the web? x

Was there any force behind the liquid or was it dribbling? By force I mean like a wee?

Did he want a wee? Neither of mine will pee when they are tied on the yard. One of mine was driving me mad one day fidgeting about, then I noticed a bit of dripping going on... I untied him and let him get on the grass and he peed for England! (I'll try to listen a bit harder to him in future, poor man).

It wasn't a pee. It was more like something leaking out. No force behind it - like it was falling out not being pushed out. Interesting point woeisme, I was just in the process of putting him out from being in stable and tied him up, in the snow, onto the yard. Maybe he was wanting a pee and I interrupted him but some leaked out.

I'll be inspecting his bits on a regular basis today!

You shouldn't use baby oil, it is completely the wrong PH (acidity/alkalinity level) and can let bad bugs breed in there.

Oh no! Thought if it went on baby parts be okay for him! Will wipe it off tomorrow. Oh joy. Off to google seeping willies.
