My gelding has a swollen sheath
Its the first year I've had a boy horse so I'm still learning how to deal with his man bits. I gave it a gentle wash last week with warm water and sheath clearner but I don't think that could cause it to swell up 4 - 5 days later.
My best guess is that its fly bites because his sheath is covered in them and I haven't been putting fly spray there for fear it might sting.
Any ideas I gave it a wash down today and put some sudocream on it to act as a barrier in case it is the flies biting it.
