Really yucky willy!!!
      #3592387 - 13/10/2008 14:44

Troy dropped his willy out last night and it is really filthy

I picked some bits off (mostly mud) but he then got a bit fed up with me and kept lifting his leg up and then it shot in

Any tips???

ring the vets for the best stuff coz you want to get it right that is a very sensitive area you dont want to be putting just anything on it or you could be causing your self some problems!

Can't remember who but there's a Forum member who has the most side splitting set of instructions EVER for washing a gelding's willy! But seriously, be careful. If you read the tiny print on many of the washes specially sold for willy cleaning it might put you off doing it for ever! Some products can be too strong for sensitive tissues and would make ned sore, some need rinsing off in gallons of water and some would strip all the horse's natural greasy protection off and you'd end up having to do it practically daily! This topic has been recently discussed and there's a strong school of thought that you leave well enough alone unless there is a medical problem.

Chancer gets a very muddy and sticky old fella. I just gently rub it to get bits off when he dangles which he rather enjoys (and often shows it ).

I use my hand and water to clean out the sheath, luckily Chancer does not mind the hose up there in the summer months - give us a rub inside and a squirt with the hose.

I avoid using anything other than water apart from the first spring clean when it is really greasy and then I use a tiny amount of sheath cleaner.

Do be aware that once you start cleaning you will need to keep with it and if he is the sort that is really mucky, check for beans - Chancer has to have them removed every few months before they get too big. This can be a difficult job unless you have a chap that really does enjoy his old fella being handled.

I find baby oil gel much easier to work with! Ordinary baby oil runs straight through your fingers but the gel stays put.
