Hi
My 24 yr old cob was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on his penis yesterday - 2 tumours that were hidden until he was sedated and dropped everything. He is fit and well otherwise. Vet has given me only one option of full amputation and re route of urethra done at Ashbrook hospital. Sounds like a major recovery for his age. I have asked if we could go for partial amputation and leave him with a stump so recovery might be easier but I feel backed into a corner by the vet. I only want to do the best for him.
They also only want me to use only use Ashbrook when I would prefer him to go to Leahurst.
Any advise much appreciated please. Thanks.
