  Discussion on Failure to ejaculate

I have a 17 year old stallion who was admitted to surgery following an accident in his hind leg which he acquired catching himself in a fence. Following the surgery we tried to collect him but he could not ejaculate although he was thrusting and his libido seemed the same. We tried two three times again but failed ..we administered bute just incase he was feeling any pain but the same thing happened. We decided to leave him for a rest period of three months and then tried to breed him naturally ..the same thing happened . He would have an excellent erection and fail to ejaculate ..we tried two times with no luck ..twenty minutes late he urinated a deep yellow ( not his clear self) colored urine..
Incidentally he has no problem passing urine so it seems there is a constriction at the ampulaa or the ductus deferens. I definitely do not think it is psychological ...
the vet recommended that I use 900 mg clomipramine and 45 minutes later give 200 mg rompun and that the stallion would ejaculate 2 minutes later
or 900 mg. imipramine for 15 days and then give rompun

I would like your opinion and your suggestions please
Regards
Omar

Hello Omar,
Was the stallion collected successsfully by AV prior to the injury? Was the stallion known to be fertile before the injury? What was the nature of the leg injury? How sound is he now?

The stallion was extremely fertile and collected succesfuly just before the injury. He is perfectly sound now.
The injury was in the fetlock area and was found not to be to serious. i believe the swelling was drained

Omar there are lots of possibilities including that he has jst not adapted well to the surroundings yet. To differentiate start with the physical exam and careful observation of a breeding attempt into an AV. The purpose is to divide the problem into one of two likely mechanisims: psychogenic vs physical.

I have rewritten the article Equine Diseases: Reproductive Diseases: Trouble Settling Mares & Stallion Infertility: Stallion Infertility to better address problems like you are having including pharmocological solutions. Reread (you may have to refresh the page to get the most current view, depending on your browser settings) that article and see if still have questios. If so post them in the forum associated with the article on Stallion Fertilty.
