My six y.o. TWH gelding had a serious
problem about a year and a half ago. He stretched out continually
before and after he peed. Turned out he had a serious bladder
infection. This was NOT diagnosed in the urinalysis, or the ultrasound, or
the physical exam by the vets. It took a scoping at the clinic. And
the vet said he probably picked up the infection because his auto waterer was
filling TOO slowly so he wasn't drinking enough to pee enough to flush out
the bacteria that normally reside inside the sheath, penis, bladder, etc. I
suggest a thorough exam by a competent vet. (And monitor horse's water
consumption.) Hope this helps.
