Preputial injuries that occur on B. taurus breeds typically result in phimosis rather than prolapse and therefore represent a different sort of challenge. If the penis is forcefully extended and then not repaired and replaced within the sheath at the same time, paraphimosis may result. The prepuce can be lavaged with an antiseptic solution. Then apply an ointment of your choice and allow second intention healing to occur. If there is extensive swelling, infection, and inflammation (phelgmon), it is usually best to allow the bull one to three months to heal as much as possible on its own before attempting surgical correction. Continued treatment attempts in the face of extensive inflammation as described is virtually always unrewarding. Ascertain the extent of fibrosis and whether or not the penis can be extended (some bulls that can extend will still require surgery). In addition, it is common to encounter one or more abscesses. Scar tissue often must be removed to allow easy, painless, and full extension of the penis. Unlike B. indicus influenced bulls, these bulls rarely have enough preputial tissue to allow for a circumcision. A scar revision technique as previously described can usually be utilized.
