Abstract

An 8-year-old Kathiawari stallion was presented to the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Salem, with progressive scrotal swelling persisting for one week. General clinical examination revealed normal vital parameters, while external genital examination identified mild, soft swelling in both testicles. Ultrasonographic evaluation showed anechoic fluid accumulation between the testicular parenchyma and parietal tunica vaginalis, confirming hydrocele. Open- covered method of castration was performed under general anaesthesia. Postoperative management involved antibiotics, pain management and supportive care over three days. Recovery was uneventful, with no complications observed.
