Injury or Trauma to the penis

INJURY OR TRAUMA TO PENIS

• In rare instances in stallion this may be due to mare kicking at the stallion and striking erect penis at the time of service.
• This may cause haematoma, paraphymosis, laceration or rupture of penis. it is easily avoided by the proper supervision of breeding and by being certain that mare is definitely in the estrum.
• If necessary breeding hobble should be used in nervous & excitable mare.
• In the bull occasionally penis catches on the vulval lips in a hymenal remnant or beneath the vulva. If bull thrusts and penis is bent sharply at right angle. When the cow suddenly collapsing, a rupture of corpus cavernosum and tunica albuginea, usually, on the dorsal surface of penis would occur. A haemotoma is thus produced . This is often spoken of as a ‘’fractured’’ ruptured or broken penis.
