Bilateral scrotal enlargement with pitting edema of the hind limbs has been reported in young bulls secondary to Mycoplasma wenyonii infection (Figure 18.8). Swelling subsided in these bulls following treatment with oxytetracycline [19, 20]. Scrotal edema can be differentiated from other causes of scrotal enlargement by palpation and ultrasound.
