This boy had a crusty build up over the head of the p***s, causing the horse to have difficulty urinating, almost not being able to urinate all. Another reason to keep your horses anual sheath clean, by a trained professional on the calendar 🙂

"IMPORTANT REMINDER" why annual sheath and p***s health check by a professional is important.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
is the most common cancer affecting the p***s and prepuce of older horses, often appearing as non-healing wounds, plaques, or "cauliflower-like" growths. It is a serious, locally invasive, and malignant disease frequently caused by Equus caballus papillomavirus type 2 (EcPV-2) and chronic sm**ma irritation.

Key Aspects of Equine Pe**le Cancer (SCC):
Symptoms: Discharge, strong odor, swelling, and difficulty urinating.

Risk Factors: Mostly affects older horses and geldings, particularly those with unpigmented skin.

Causes: Linked to EcPV-2, chronic irritation from sm**ma build-up, and UV exposure.

Treatment: The preferred approach is surgical removal, including cryotherapy, laser resection, or, in severe cases, phallectomy (pe**le amputation).
Prognosis: While slow to spread, it is locally invasive, making early diagnosis crucial.

Prevention & Management:
Regular cleaning of the sheath to prevent sm**ma accumulation is crucial for reducing risks.
