Swollen navel

[TLM1988]

I've got a 400 lbs bull that I banded on Thursday. The testicles are drying up and looking good but just overnight his navel area and sheath are swollen. He's a good looking guy and I'm hoping this can be an easy fix. I've never ran into this before. Thanks!!!

Have you seen him urinate?
With what you've described, I'd be concerned about urethral blockage/rupture.

I didn't have time this morning to watch for him to urinate I was rushed for work. But I thought the same thing. Is there an antibiotic protocol for this issue?

Call a vet.

That's my plan they open in 30 min

Vet seemed to think it was swelling from the banding process. But he wants me to be sure he is in fact urinating. Thanks again !!
