Get a new vet! Any vet who cannot get a willy out when an examination is needed isn't worth the title! (Although they shouldn't go as far as one Junior vet - sent out to take swabs from my 17 hh RID stallion for CEM testing. Turned my back for two minutes and found her sitting cross legged on the floor, underneath him, hauling it out! :eek: He's probably one of the very few stallions in the WORLD that wouldn't have kicked her head in!!)

You put your hand in, grab it, and keep gentle sustained pressure downwards. They drop it - eventually. Raj is pretty stubborn about it - unless there's an interesting female around - but even he can be drawn!!
 
i think i call the vet again and get him to sedate him (i cant spell lmao) cause they are kinda getting bigger he has had them for about 3 years now.
thanks
:D:)
 
Is there any discharge or smell?

My very experienced vet couldn't get my friends cobs out.... fully sedated! (persevered for ages, she couldn't believe she couldn't! 1st time apparently). But when she turned the sheath inside out she saw lesions.... This worried her a lot. She put him on antibiotics, but if it hadn't cleared up she was going to come out and try again and take biopsies of what she could. Apparently penile (I think you call it) is not hugely uncommon and if that is what it is, is very serious. thankfully the anti biotics cleared the lesions up and on re examination she managed to pull it out!

What steps is your vet taking? My friends cob wasn't in any obvious discomfort either.
 
I have got to say iv had tug of war with my horses willy will not drop for anything including drugs im the only one he wont kick over his crown jewels but i have ky jelly in the stable ready when he has a wee to have a quick wipe but now he wont wee in front of me have to think of new idea
 
My 22 year old pony also has lumps on his sheath, the vet checked them when we noticed them (with sedation) and confirmed they were melanomas - he is grey and has other melanomas beneath his tail, definitley worth getting them checked out though as I believe there are also other more nasty tumours that they can get on the penis also.
 
2nd, 3rd and 4th all comments.
My Shetland had a lump on the sheath, which changed in appearance over 5 months.
1st vet on call out said leave it, unless it changed - had gone pink and about the size of a pea, and smooth.
Took boys for teeth, and whilst at the vets, got him to re-examine and he whipped it off as it was starting to granulate, but was easier to deal with whilst small - labs confirmed it was a sarcoid (1st one ever at 24yrs).
However ponio now also has a small flat pink spot that appeared in the same region (before lump removed) which I've got to keep an eye on incase it also changes.
In the meantime, I had googled it, and penile cancers appear quite common - which shocked me (not that i'm saying that's what your horse has got). But best to be on the safe side.
 
My pony had the same problem and it smelt vile, so when we FINALLY managed to persuade a vet to look at it, he was transferred straight to Newmarket and diagnosed with cancer and, it was too far spread for anything to be done. I would DEFINITELY get your vet to check this just to be on the safe side. Luckily, despite being told I should have my poor boy put down i managed to persuade my mum to let me have the summer with him.. and this was two summers ago and he is still going strong :D I know it wont be forever and he will gradually worsen, but i wish i could re wind time and have got a diagnosis earlier, then there would be a chance that he would not have this horribly disease.
 
I can't believe the vet didn't sedate him, I know some of you have said this didn't work, but he/she could have at least tried, I would he expect it. My horse won't let his out with sedaline, I've not tried injection, but I managed to clean his willy a bit when he p'd coming back from a ride. So didn't need to get him iv'd in the end.
