Morning all, thanks in advance for any advise... Had my 3yo horse gelded approx 5months ago, all went well although in my opinion after having other horses gelded before the cuts were huge, he healed well, (took a very long time) only one course of antibiotics was needed so no secondary infection. Yesterday I noticed a swelling on his sheath, we're his testicles once were but only prominent on one side (side which had the biggest cut and took the longest to heal) you would almost think there was another testicle with massive swelling, up until this all had been fine, no swelling or mass and checked at least once a week once he had healed and latest check was two weeks ago and nothing there, called vet immediately who after examination declared its either a adverse reaction to being gelded or it's one of the tubes has become infected and lain dormant until now??? In his opinion horse requires immediate surgery, he's well in himself, happily working away, have just backed him and eating like there's no tomorrow, after exercising or being out in field swelling goes right down but there is the feeling of a mass about the size of a tennis ball, have put him on oral anitbiotics and bute for a week to give it a chance, any advise or if some one has had exp of this before?? I have had countless horses gelded and have ever ad a problem or heard of this...........
