Has anybody had any dealing with the operation to remove the end of the penis and how successful it is?
Out 20year old pony has had problems with his sheath for a a few years and has small nodes on is penis which we got told would eventually turn cancerous so he was 6 month check up. He went the vet for a check up yesterday could not believe how quickly he deteriorated since she last saw him as it all turned cancerous and has started to constrict the urethra and the end. Due to how rapidly its deteriorated we've been given a week to make the decisions to operate on it or not, if we dont operate they dont see him his lasting the summer as once the urethra is blocked there will be no choice to make! The op isn't covered in his insurance because of his age so we've got to pay the 2K out for the op (we don't know is this includes the antibiotics and after care aswell), the pony is fit and healthy as the vet said his heart is strong as on ox, he muscular and doesn't look like a 20 year old. I know its only a decision we can make but where all pretty heart broken atm and have one devastated little girl, but was wondering what other people thought/sucesses of the operation to have the end of the penis removed where the cancerous is
