Hopefully this week =[
I'm so torn, I'm not sure if you remember but when I got sly, he had a huge penis...(ha!) I brought him to the vet and they said he has something secreeting fluid under his prepuce.
After three different vets - I decided to leave it, because it wasn't getting worse, and the one vet said to just pop it at home (which I didn't feel comfortable doing so I didn't..)
Last week it went from a marble soft bump to a red hard bump, I brought sly to the vet, and it started producing a discharge.
None of the vet's said they will do the surgery since it's beyond any of their ability. I guess sly is getting his prepuce cut off, along with whatever tumor, cyst, cancer whatever also. They said it may not end there though - because the prepuce is basically the forskin - if they cut that off, they would end up having the penis hanging out. So then they have to reconstuct the penis..
The vet said I could a) go to the vet i'm going to, and just get the tumor out and hope that's it, and it wont come back
b) go to a specialist, which the surgery can go up to 4000 dollars and still not be successful
Is there a way to tell if a cancer has spread or not? The vet is thinking it is a cancer (and the only cancer down there is extremely aggressive)
bah, i'm so frusterated.. I wish I could get an answer as to if I should wait it out, or if I should get surgery. I don't want them to start surgery to find all his organs are affected with cancer then then just putting him down there..
He's fine now, he eats drinks plays ect, and that's why I want to get the surgery... but i'm also in a tight situation with school and my dogs surgery... =[
This probably doesn't even make sense.. i'm talking all over the place hah =[ this is more of a rant then anything.. i'm just so scared i'm going to lose him soon. =[
