[QUOTE="bovine, post: 3591326, member: 12486"] Is he lame with it (walking like John Wayne) and is he running a temperature? If no to both questions he can go as he is. The testicle itself is a privileged site so antibiotics won't help. I give them steroid (big doses IV). If it's the epididymis causing the problem then macrolides may help - I do think there is merit in a thorough vet exam. I have seen these go on and re-breed, so not always sure of the aetiology. If just 1 testicle then infection vastly more likely. I have also seen scrotal swelling from fluid with normal sized testicles either from a ruptured bladder (after a stone) or bad fluke burdens.
