RE: [RC] treatment for Chryptorchid stud colt? - Campbell David L.I have a 6 y/o mustang stallion. He is a chryptid. He is the best natured horse we have and we have 9 horses. He gets beat up by our 21 y/o gelding. Some folks out there know Ranger. I would get him gelded except for the cost. He is also kept in the same barn with our 3 mares. He is across the aisle, 10 feet from the mares and he doesn't care they are there, even when they cycle. Being a chryptid doesn't seem to bother him and he definitely IS NOT mean. I am not going to breed him because he is not breeding quality and the textbooks does state it could be an inherited trait. If I ever win the lottery than I will have the surgery done. David L.

We had a colt born with same and decided to geld-- even though he was fabulous--- because itis an inherited trait. It can be very tricky surgery and Dr. Charlie Boles performed it--- he is one of the best vets in the country (asked to be the Olympic vet twice) and we nearly lost our colt who was two at the time of surgery. I would recommend you take out surgical and mortality insurance (although I'm not sure if the surgical would cover the gelding, but it might cover any complications that may arise). One thing you do not want to do is ignore the problem as cryptorchids usually become mean at some point due to oversecretion of testosterone-- at least that is what I've been told by three vets (hated to geld him--- he was so correct and athletic). Say lots of prayers before the surgery and best wishes. Bette A. Perez wrote: I recently came across a very reasonably priced, nice-looking part-arab yearling stud. Turns out he is reasonably priced because he is chryptorchid (one testical is retained). Anyone out there have any experiences with surgical treatment for gelding a Chryptorchid foal? What does it cost, generally? Complications?
