Location: Gary, TX | My stallion's sheath is swollen. It sometimes looks like a baseball size just on one side. It will go down then swell back up. My vet at first said he might have been stung by a bee or wasp, but then ruled that out after it did it several times. Since then it has gotten like that again. He has been cleaned and de-beaned. It is not tender to touch.
We give him dex and clean him out but it just keeps swelling back up. Anyone else have this problem? |

| have you noticed any gnats out yet? Ours did that several times last year, for several days in a row, before we realized what it was from. For us it was from flies and gnats irritating it. We covered it in Vaseline, inside and out, and didn't have a problem with it again. I hope you figure out what it is. |

| First of all, swelling settles in the lowest spot because of gravity. It could be something up higher and the swelling just settles in the low spot.
That being said--my gelding is allergic to insect bites and he can stand on three legs and bite his sheath cause it itches. This causes it to swell. |

Location: Gary, TX | Yes we have a lot of gnats! It's pretty annoying when your outside. I was thinking insect or allergy. I will try putting Vaseline on him and see if that helps. Thank you!! |
