Joel Alves, [17 Aug 2023 at 08:44:01]: Morning all. Anyone seen or treated something similar in white rhino? Free roaming bull in an open system reserve, reported by management yesterday described as uncomfortable and urine dribbling? Haven’t received much more than that. No fighting wounds. Relatively heavy tick burden. Wondering if it has developed a complete phimosis. Dickson Wambura, [17 Aug 2023 at 08:53:28]: I think tick has no issue with this, I would say the animal has developed phimosis. You better capture the animal and do a close physical examination. Henry Labuschagne, [17 Aug 2023 at 09:13:57]: I think it is preputial smegma accumulation with some infection. It needs a good sheath cleaning. I regularly see the problem in stallions and geldings.
