Scrotal hernia/inguinal hernia in foal

Does anyone have experience with this? My 5 week old colt has an appointment tomorrow to get looked at by the vet and determine a course of action.

It looks like a scrotal hernia, unless he is a foal with a very large testicle…

We had a foal with a scrotal hernia.
Vet could feel intestines in there and said that was an emergency.
He was gelded at two days old, did fine, never knew anything happened.
He made a big, strapping gelding, very sound and never had a sick day and as his siblings, born broke with a wonderful temperament.
