Our daughter had a horse once that had
pigeon fever in his sheath. She couldn't see any swelling, but the
horse was obviously miserable. One day it broke and drained, and the horse
was so happy that he bucked and hopped around his paddock. I think that
eventually the abscess breaks and drains and will heal, but a vet should tune in
on this discussion and give us the professional word. Heidi, care to chime
in on this discussion?
I have a five year old gelding with pigeon fever
in his scrotom. The vet saw him over a month ago and said it would just
run its course. He is swollen like a watermelon on one side and a
cantaloupe on the other. There was a small rupture on the cantaloupe
side but it is beginning to scare me. He still pees OK. any
suggestions. He won't let me near it without
kicking.
