There is never a "too long" video when it comes to Baron. I'm just glad that handsome guy is going to be okay. Thank you Jim for taking us along with you to Baron's outpatient surgery, it was very interesting and informative!

[@mardiecunningham7833]

In the 100s of horses I've seen gelded never used gauze. We left it open to drain.

[@shirleyrice7093]

Yes. I didn’t know the sliver was in my little finger. It was a stiff, plant fiber. Four months later it festered. I pinched it and it popped out. It was 1/4inch long. Unbelievable.

[@Halifaxbomber2]

It's touching to see this huge animal go to his father for comfort. I'm glad Baron is ok.

[@JamesMcGill-kr2qk]

Thanks for getting Baron to the vet to have that cancer removed. It was very evident that it was causing him trouble urinating. Hoping for a quick recovery and no more problems down there. I watch some videos of horse rescue groups saving draft horses from slaughter houses. None of your horses will ever have to worry about that happening to them. I wish every horse owner took the care and love that you both give your horses. God bless and keep safe Jim and Brenda love all of your hard work to share these videos with us.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Jim and Brenda are very fortunate to live so close to Equine Vet who did an excellent procedure to resolve Baron's Issue . When I observed the volume of urine that Baron expelled . I knew the surgery had resolved the problem. Jim is such a great horseman and i know he'll watch out for any signs of infection in Baron with the assistance of Nurse Brenda.

Thank you, Brenda & Jim, for sharing this very important and may I say emotional video with all of us. My husband had to comfort me because I was so worried about bad news for Baron!! We love all your horses, but Baron is my favorite. Your horses are so blessed to have such caring parents such as you both. So happy that the news was good and Baron will be just fine. Oh, and your vet seems like one amazing & knowledgeable lady as well! Have a good weekend coming up!! 💕

[@uteschneider3349]

​@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Ich hatte doch geschrieben, auf die Vorteile von Wasserstoffperoxid H2O2 hingewiesen. Warum haben Sie es nicht benutzt? Das ist doch das beste und billigste Mittel. Ein altes vergessenes Hausmittel. Für Mensch und Tier! Wahrscheinlich haben Sie damals meinen Kommentar übersehen? Das Geld beim Tierarzt jetzt hättet ihr euch sparen können. Gerade in den USA dürfte Wasserstoffperoxid aber noch bekannt sein. Kennt Brenda es nicht? Bitte fragen Sie alte Leute in ihrer Nachbarschaft oder in der Kirche. Einen alten Tierarzt. Es wäre hilfreich, es wenigstens jetzt zu verwenden, damit es endlich heilt und nicht wieder irgendeine Infektion entsteht. An Tierärztlichen Fakultäten wird es heute nicht mehr gelehrt, weil es der Pharmaindustrie und Tierärzten kein Geld bringt. Kaufen Sie 3 % iges. Sie können es am Anfang zur Probe verdünnen, 1,5%. Sprühen Sie es auf die Wunde. Wenn es schäumt, zerplatzen die Bakterien oder Viren. Wasserstoffperoxid zerfällt zu Wasser und zu Sauerstoff. In der richtigen Konzentration völlig unbedenklich. Wenn die Schaumbläschen zerplatzen piekt es ein wenig. Vielleicht zuckt Baron dann mit dem Bein, weil er denkt eine Fliege. Deshalb anfangs nicht zu hoch dosieren. Lieber öfters hintereinander sprühen, bis keine Bläschen mehr erscheinen und die Wunde komplett verheilt ist. Ich hoffe die Wunde heilt schnell! Für Brenda: Gegen virale (Atemwegs)infektionen, auch C., hilft Artemisia annua (EINJÄHRIGER Beifuß) .Am besten Artemisia anua ANAMED. Auf Amazon.de erhältlich. Sehr teuer, aber anamed hat 20 Mal höhere Wirksamkeit. Eine Züchtung von einem deutschen Apotheker. Als alkoholische Lösung in Form von Tropfen, als Tee einnehmen oder in magensaftresistente Kapseln füllen und schlucken. Für Tee ist es mir zu teuer und wird am wenigsten wirken. Artemesia anu (aber nicht die Sorte ANAMED) Samen kann man bei Amazon kaufen, (in Brendas neuem Gewächshaus Pflanzen züchten) und im Garten pflanzen. Das Kraut Unbedingt VOR der Blüte ernten und trocknen. Die Pflanze kann bis zu 2m hoch werden. Dann habt ihr einen Vorrat für den Winter, für die ganze Familie. 😊 Die arme Brenda scheint mir in letzter Zeit ständig etwas krank zu sein. Gute Besserung❣

[@allanchapman7133]

Never heard of gauze beeing used in that manner , when castrating a horse. have had hundreds of horses castrated.

[@Velcro1997]

Same but maybe because he was used for breeding, older therefor more vascular?

[@JChaos1120]

it's not a bad practice, it might be kind of atypical though. Duke and Earl didn't need gauze. As someone mentioned, maybe because Baron has bred mares as well as had his sperm frozen, the vessels down there were probably thicker with a rich blood supply. I expected the bleeding problems, tbh.

[@fionajane56]

I agree, our vets never used gauze inside the wound. What a strange situation

[@francrawford3246]

Having worked in the medical field for many years, this was very interesting. Baron was such a good boy. I greatly appreciate the attitude and professionalism of the vet and tech. Sounds like a little healing time and Baron will be back to his normal self. And, KUDOS to Baron for peeing for the vet! So happy for all of you.

Cancer is such a scary word! I hope that Barron continues his full recovery. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@stacey_h]

Our horse vet that owns a hospital is a little over 3 hours away. We have one retired vet that will come out for emergencies, if she is around. It really puts us in a horrible situation when we have a sick horse and no vet to treat them. That 3+ hour trailer ride with a sick horse to the hospital is nerve racking.

Aren't vets and the vet techs the very best? Thank you for taking such good care of Baron. Lots of love to Baron, what a good boy. My dad always had horses and funny thing is he always talked baby talk to them. Yep, and the horses responded like they were eating up the attention.

[@thirzapeevey2395]

Very glad that it's no worse than that, but troubling that the full brothers have both had it. Given what we are finding out about the effects of ivermectin on both viruses and parasites, and the connections coming out among viruses, parasites and cancer, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be useful to load both of these boys up with it for a little while? When we saw the headline of this video, the whole family dropped everything to watch it right then. We all really love Baron.

the papilloma virus is cancerous in several species, humans too. I wonder if they have a horse vaccine yet? idk, maybe it's time for some hardcore fly control?

I am a child at heart living in a 78 year-old body and in my next life... I will own and love draft horses.

He didn't seem to get super sedated, so he was a good boy as she cut it off. I loved the explanation and dissection!

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

From what I observed in the complete video the issue was corrected , Jim and Brenda will monitor the situation for a few days and keep the scrotum area clean to prevent infection. It would be great nurse Brenda to take Baron's temperature over the nex day or so. When I saw Baron pee that huge volume .I knew the problem was resolved.

[@territn8871]

Sweet, sweet Baron, I'm so sad this happened. Bless his heart, it must have affected how much urine output he did too. After removing the tumor/growth, he peed gallons! That must have been immediate relief to fully empty his bladder. I'm surprised the vet didn't give him a shot of antibiotics just to ward off infection at incision site as well as to help if he by chance has a UTI from not emptying his bladder well. Baron is such a beautiful and powerful horse, and it just broke my heart finding out his problem. I'll be anxious for Monday's video to get a progress report on our sweet boy, Baron!!!

[@joharper7365]

Hi Jim and Brenda. Was sorry to hear about Baron and the sarcoid but good that you caught it in time. As I have mentioned to you before, I have a Belgian Draft cross, Bruno, here in the U.K. In 2022 when he was 8 years old and I had owned him for just 2.5 years, we realised he had developed around 11 tiny sarcoids on his bits and his ‘armpits’. Vet advice was to deal with them as soon as possible, so we had them lasered at a nearby vet hospital. It was a lot of work and his recovery was not helped by the fact that he had colic which required surgery just 6 weeks later - this could have been related to the stress of recovering from the laser. Here in the U.K. we are also told that sarcoids can come from bites from flies that have been in cattle I was advised that although it’s difficult to know how to take preventative measures for horses that are susceptible to sarcoids, there is value in boosting the immune system to help the horse deal with any fly bite so I am feeding a supplement for that (Radiance Gold) . Also, Bruno has antiseptic fly repellent all over his bits all through the summer (it’s bright yellow here sadly!). If you would like to know any more about Bruno’s experience let me know. Fingers crossed for Baron. X
