Hi

I have a lovely old gent who I can do almost anything to except.......clean his sheath. He turns into the hammer horse from hell and no way will he let me anywhere near it. In all the 17 years I've had him this I've only managed to clean it under sedation. As he has his fair share of injuries and treatments that required sedation as well as the odd dentist visit, this was not as infrequent as it might sound. Even then under sedation it was a struggle and even the vet couldn't do it (while he was sedated!).

So having once been advised to squirt it with baby oil this has been our method in between him being knocked out. Problem is he is now wise to this and I simply cannot seem to co-ordinate having the baby oil to hand when "it" appears. I am seriously ashamed at the state of "it" it looks disgusting but as his age (23) I really don't want to knock him out unless I absolutely have to. He goes out like a light when sedated (one memorable time I was told he hadn't had enough sedation to put a cat to sleep and yet I was struggling to keep him on his feet).

I have seriously tried to get him used to the idea but he simply won't have it.

Does anyone else have this problem? What else can I try?
 
Why dont you ask for a few acp tablets, when he is relaxed it will roll out! Making it easier to give it a good old squirt with baby oil.
 
Oh if only it was that simple, even under sedation he holds it in and you have to go in an get it - he's just doped enough that he doesn't try to kill you when you do it. One vet thought I was making it up - till he tried and he couldn't get at it while he was sedated.

I've tried all the "normal" means - I was hoping someone had a more "inventive" method I hadn't tried yet.
 
We are lucky in that our gelding is a total perv and will let my hubby clean his manhood and when i come along he literally whips out and shows great pleasure lol.

My friends horse cow kicks however and she uses a sheath cleaner that sprays up into the area then it softens and loosnes debris so it falls out but you have to hose it off.

My mare has prob dirty lady bits cos there is no chance of getting near!
 
Do you actually need to clean it?

I've never any of my geldings - they're usually pretty clean though - and out 24/7 are immaculate.........
