Re: [RC] [RC] Enlarged Man Sack - Kathy Mayeda

Drako had pigeon fever, never ran a temp and never lost his appetite.   He had a chest lump that wouldn't go away, that initially the vet thought that he was just kicked.  Didn't go down after a week and told my vet who was vetting a ride I was volunteering for and he said to bring him into the clinic, and sure enough it was pigeon fever.  The lump hung around for about a month.  He was going crazy in the hospital pen - no loss of energy - and it still hadn't opened. The moment I put him back into the pasture with the vet's blessing, it burst open, but didn't completely drain.  I had the vet out to enlarge the opening, and they just opened it right there on the ground, didn't care about contamination because it's so endemic in the area anyway (San Jose).
 
I would get a culture done to make sure.

I went to get my 24 year old super charged gelding
today to take him on a training ride to find his
scrotum very enlarged.   There seemed to be a small
crusty puncture wound.  Anyway, my riding partner ,
her mostly, and myself cleaned the pocket and decided
that he had no fever, was eating so lets go. We want
to finish is 5000 this year.  Any thoughts what this
might be.  I have had experience with pidgeon fever in
the scrotum but this is not the right timing.  I live
in Georgetown, CA. I really want to thank my riding
partner as when we returned from the training ride she
helped me vacinate feral cats that had been in my
trailer for a week after being spayed/nutered.  This
is a true partner.  Thanks Donna. Any thoughts what
this might be.
