Its spring again! Time to wash those winkies!
I travel to you. All you need is warm water.
$40 per horse, $30 per horse for 3 or more horses. This includes travel fee 😊
Why you should get your horses sheath cleaned?
1. Comfort and health are two factors that often go hand in hand. Sheaths are no exception.
2. Really dirty sheaths can cause secondary infection, dermatitis, and inflammation.
Studies have demonstrated that accumulated sm**ma can predispose a gelding to an aggressive type of skin tumour called squamous cell carcinoma on the p***s, and regular cleaning to reduce this build-up can have a protective effect against this invasive cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma causes red, irritated, ulcerated patches on the skin and sometimes will have a wart-like appearance. They often bleed easily and are tender to the touch. Early recognition of this problem is key to effective management, which can involve freezing the masses with liquid nitrogen, topical chemotherapeutic agents, oral medication, and surgical resection of the diseased skin or of the entire end of the p***s. Left untreated, this type of tumour can be quite invasive and extend into local lymph nodes so it is well worth your time to check this area regularly.
