Paraphimosis is the inability of the horse to retract the penis into the prepuce. Trauma to the male genital area is a common cause for paraphimosis. 3 stallions with paraphimosis were presented to the teaching hospital at College of Veterinary Medicine at University of Tripoli with clinical signs of general fatigue dullness and protruded penis and obvious swellings on the penis. Other clinical signs include. On the history report the average age of the stallions was 6 years old with penile swelling age ranged from 3 to 6 weeks old. For treatment the penile swelling was first washed and immersed in an antiseptic solution 1.5 Potassium permanganate (PP) for 10 minutes once a day followed by manual massage to reduce oedema after that an antibacterial ointment was applied to the lesions (Fucidin ointment). In addition systemic anti-inflammatory and antibiotic was prescribed to help reduce pain and swelling. The penile swelling in all affected stallions were reduced after twenty-two days from the initial of treatment.

Abstract

Paraphimosis is the inability of the horse to retract the penis into the prepuce. Trauma to the male genital area is a common cause for paraphimosis. 3 stallions with paraphimosis were presented to the teaching hospital at College of Veterinary Medicine at University of Tripoli with clinical signs of general fatigue dullness and protruded penis and obvious swellings on the penis. Other clinical signs include. On the history report the average age of the stallions was 6 years old with penile swelling age ranged from 3 to 6 weeks old. For treatment the penile swelling was first washed and immersed in an antiseptic solution 1.5 Potassium permanganate (PP) for 10 minutes once a day followed by manual massage to reduce oedema after that an antibacterial ointment was applied to the lesions (Fucidin ointment). In addition systemic anti-inflammatory and antibiotic was prescribed to help reduce pain and swelling. The penile swelling in all affected stallions were reduced after twenty-two days from the initial of treatment.
