Delicate problem in my 4 year old boar - can you help?

[madmush]

My 4.5 year old boar has a delicate problem with his willy & I am, wondering if anyone has dealt with this before or has any advice. ?/

He has impacted anus & when I was cleaning his pouch today I found a couple of lumps round his bottom, which when squeezed gently emptied with no problems (thick white stuff). I then checked his willy & it feels as though he has a 'rod' down the whole of it. I had difficulty checking the end of his willy, although i did eventually manage this - without distress to Jerry.

I am presuming this may be a blocked willy due to hardening of semen, but I am not sure. Has this happened to anyone elses's boar? Does anyone have any suggestions? I want to avoid anything which requires anaesthetic as I don't think he will cope with it, so alternative suggestions will be very much welcomed.

he is, by the way, a happy pig! x) He has gotten used to me prodding & poking his boys bits, although he does tell me what he thinks of it (& me!) every time!

Absolutely NORMAL. What you can feel is the os penis, ie penis bone. This helps during mating.

I don't know about the delicate willy issue but the white stuff you got out round his bottom sounds like glands, I didn't know guinea pigs had glands which emptied like this (cats and dogs do, I believe)

Did the thick white stuff smell really bad? If so it's smegma, or that's what my vet called it.

A few days after my Toddie was neutered i removed a large blob of hardened semen from his penis, i had to give him a bottom bath in warm water (nothing else) to help soften it but it did come away with no problem

Totally agree, its completely normal, its his penis bone and it helps during mating
