Back in May I wrote about trying a smegma transplant on Cisco. Long story short: he'd been rubbing his tail and butt daily and his sheath stunk. The idea is that you take smegma from another gelding, stick it where the sun don't shine on Cisco, and hopefully it changes the ph balance in there and he stops rubbing.
Did it work?
A resounding yes!
I think he came in only a handful of times with a rubbed tail during the worst of fly season. Compared to before when he came in like that daily, there was a significant improvement. I also no longer smelled eau de sheath whenever I was in his vicinity.
It's been about 7 months so far and I haven't had to repeat the treatment. With my old horse Farly, I had to re-implant smegma every 6 - 8 months. We'll see how the next few months go for Cisco before I decide if I need to do it again.
I'll have to find a new donor horse though. The one I used last time is no longer at the barn!
Wait... hold on!!! This is both the coolest and the strangest thing I've read all day!
ReplyDeleteHaha - it's a trick I've known for at least 20 years so to me it seems odd that other people gave never heard of it! I totally admit that the best part of the transfer is asking fellow gelding owners for some smegma!
