WORRIED

[vicster]

We have a pony on our yard that seems to have some black gooey sunstance which has dripped onto his legs - i am thinking it is from his winky. Does anyone know what would cause this and could it be bad?

Thanks x

heehee - that would be smegma and is nothing to worry about - they all produce it in varying amounts. maybe some willy washing might be in order?

 

[vicster]

Well that is what we thought but others were syaing different and said to get the vet!!! Is funny - thanks though xx

 

[jacks_mum]

my old boy used to 'drip' it down his legs - pretty horrid and smelly. I had to pick it because he wouldn't let me willy wash - all rather revolting.

Strangely enough he'd let my 5 yearold neice wash his willy (arm in there up to the elbow) with out batting an eyelid but if I went near him you'd think he was going to kill me. Funny animals.

Yuk! it smells bad but don't worry its all quite normal, think a willy wash is due!

Oooh someone needs to do some willy washing!!

Did you have a good holiday by the way?

 

[vicster]

Yes thanks sweet - how are the boys? Behaving in this crappy weather i hope. xx

 

[spaniel]

So far!!!

 

[vicster]

Good, this is Pony we are talking about - this stuff just dribbles over night and quite a lot of it too x

 

[spaniel]

Could be caused by him being too warm. Smegma gets a bit warm, melts a bit and then dribbles out.

I have to ask why a 5 year old is washing your horses penis??

And on the subject why do people think you are meant to put your hand (or in some peoples case arm) up there, the penis comes out, you do not go in.........

 

[GoJo]

i thought you had to get your arm in to clean out the sheath as well as the dangler- not that my boy lets me do any of it- sensible lad!!

 

[GTs]

There are beans in there that need to be cleaned out - however you see people with half their fore-arm up there, and then wonder why the horse is causing such a fuss.

Glad we've always had mares!!

Ah, you mean cheesy chunks! We used to love getting them out when we catheterised boy horses after surgery!

 

[GTs]

We used to get them out before surgey, while giving the whole thing a scrub - but we had a more lax about that area during surgery - we just let it be!
