The same thing happened to a
friend's gelding. His sheath was sooo swollen, and he developed scar tissue.
After 4-5 months, he started loosing weight. He ended up being up
down. Nothing the vet tried seemed to help. He was a very nice horse,
only a three yo.

When it occurs in the chest and belly, it usually clears up
completely, but
in the sheath can be a different story. My gelding
had a horrible case about
5 years ago that never drained on its own and
had to be opened with surgery.
He has extensive scarring and
enlargement of the sheath that still cause him
problems all these years
later.
