Just wanting some opinions, stories you've experienced. The Vet is closed today and I couldn't get their input.
Here we go. 4 year old purebred shorthorn bull. The bulls have been turned in with the cows about a week ago. Yesterday I noticed a little bit of a swelling of his sheath, but wasn't sure if I was 'seeing things' or if it was definitely swollen. Today I checked again and yes the bulls sheath is definitely swollen. He doesn't act sick, still checks cows, eats, drinks and apparently still can pee from what I've seen. But he doesn't seem to be able to extend his 'tool' out of the sheath more then an inch or two.
Is that it for that bull? How are they usually treated? What is the progression of this?
Never had a bull with this, so it's new territory for me.
Thanks.
