Today I visited a patient with a progressing tumour on his penis.
The changed surface of the penis meant that the penis skin secretions collected along with cells to make big clumps.
As I was peeling them off… a big gust of wind blew one in my mouth! Good heavens, the dangers of my job 😉
SHEATH CLEANS ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS A PENIS HEALTH CHECK!
It is very important to understand the difference.
A dirty sheath can be treated.
A tumour covered by smegma can be missed and this is far more dangerous for the horse.
