:gnight: So we have been nursing our buck who is in quarantine along, and in some areas hes better, others not so much. its been a couple of weeks since his symptoms started, and we have had him for about 6 weeks. He had come out of the 1 month quarantine, not looking too bad and I allowed all three does to breed with him. He did great, fell of each 3-5 times. Then a few days later started exhibiting some interesting symptoms, which I seem to be honing in on thinking its probably vent disease. I have been treating with 1/4 ml penicillian G Procraine daily for 10 days. His improvement is really slow. At first it looked like bad scabs but no bleeding or lesions, just bumpy hard scaby skin most noticeable on his nose. I have been checking his genitils and they had the same dandruff type scabs but didn't look bad actually on the penis, just the skin surrounding it. Today I checked and hes really swollen all over down there, looked to be having trouble pooping as some was stuck 1/2 in 1/2 out. Hes eating and drinking and not acting too bad, but I think I am about to put him out of his misery. I have continued to experiment with treatment just in case others come down with it too. So far, everyone is fine but its been 2-3 weeks since they were with him. Here are some pictures of what it looks like. If it is vent disease, is it most likely curable? Or do you think its still something else? Advice appreciated! Really worried for the rest of my buns!

This is his penis up close, I am not sure if you can see how swollen the area is but it really is...
