Barrier Sheath Cleanser gently softens & loosens hard smegma by using mild vegetable suractants & the purest lanolin. The lanolin breaks down the smegma whilst vegetable suractants clear it away without stripping natural bacteria. Cleanliness Your gelding's sheath should be cleaned regularly to prevent a build up of smegma - a breeding ground for bacteria.Infection and swelling can be caused by lack of cleanliness and should be checked out by your vet. Smegma This is the build up of grime, secretions and dirt appearing as a black tar like smelly substance around your gelding's sheath and sometimes down the inside of the hind legs. Safety Sheath Cleanser is entirely non-toxic and non-irritant - but extreme care must be taken inside the sheath as the smegma can be razor sharp and easily graze this thin membrane and allow infection to set in. Application Gently clean the sheath at regular intervals. Applying 'Sheath Cleanser' directly to the penis after your horse has relieved himself is probably the easiest way. Cleaning inside the sheath where there may be sharp smegma can result in swelling and infection so extreme care must be taken.
