Paraphimosis in seven debilitated horses

Abstract: This paper reports seven cases of penile paraphimosis which occurred in both entire and castrated horses in association with general debility. Two cases were discharged after treatment while still suffering from partial paralysis; one was discharged at the owner's request with complete paralysis; three were destroyed and one died during treatment. Identified causes of debility were malnutrition, severe parasitism, glucose malabsorption and salmonellosis.

“…A possible explanation may be an association with the severe systemic illness. Severe constitutional distress, exhaustion and debility have all been associated with penile abnormalities in horses (Simmons et al 1985;Love et al 1992). The effects of endotoxaemia on vasodilation, vascular permeability and coagulation may have contributed to failure of detumescence, as could the effect of inflammatory mediators and other aspects of endotoxaemia that were an integral part of the stallion's disease process.…”

“…In the current case series, 2 pigs were suspected to have developed a prolapsed penis after routine castration, and 3 pigs were considered idiopathic. None of the pigs were considered underweight or malnourished for their age, which has been identified as a cause of penile prolapse in horses …”

“…Ligation of several venous and lymphatic vessels probably impaired transport of fluid from the preputial, scrotal and penile tissue. Given that horses with these complications require very intense management (hydrotherapy and massage, mechanical support of the penis, application of topical emollients, anti‐inflammatory drugs), and potentially even a partial phallectomy (Simmons et al . 1985), the owners elected to subject the horse to euthanasia.…”
