Her stallion is 12 years old, usually healthy.
Today he is off his feed and keeps kicking his legs up towards his tummy. He is also swishing his tail. He seems to have dropped a bit of weight over the last few days.
He isn't rolling in the way that you would see with colic, but he is laying down quite a bit.
He is sensitive to touch around his tummy, towards the rear.
I suggested that perhaps he may have a 'bean' formed an could be causing problems as he has been letting his penis hang out more than normal.
I gave it a clean and found a tiny bean and some gunky stuff up there.
Now I'm not so sure it was a bean issue after all. Well, he got a good clean out and everyone was laughing at me and the men couldn't watch!
Any ideas on what could be going on with this stallion?
I thought I'd ask.
