Summer Sore on Horse’s Penis Requires Sedation and Debridement

Summer sores can become serious, painful wounds when left untreated, especially in sensitive areas like the penis. This case highlights a persistent habronemiasis infection on the prepuce, where fly larvae invaded an open wound, leading to ongoing inflammation, granulation tissue, and embedded parasites. Despite prior treatments, the wound continued to attract flies and showed signs of embedded crystals and necrotic tissue, requiring one final round of sedation and surgical debridement before the horse could return home. Dr. Valeri walks through the step-by-step process of sedation, wound cleaning, and application of a custom summer sore cream containing anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, and ivermectin. She also explains critical prevention tips: regular sheath cleaning for male horses, twice-yearly deworming, and aggressive fly control through traps, repellents, and stall hygiene. Without timely intervention, summer sores can grow, become non-healing, and require more invasive treatment. At EPIC, we combine precise diagnostics, sedation protocols, and custom-formulated wound care to ensure healing even in the most difficult cases.
