[RC] equine penile amputation for cancer - grannynhorses

Help, please, if you've heard anything about this. 

We have a 20 yr old Icelandic gelding (Baldur) that has failed
various topical & oral chemo treatments for pre-cancerous penile
lesions.  This Ice pony has particular value (along with his Icey
buddy "Foxy") as a favorite therapy horse at our local Ride and Shine
Equine Assisted Therapy program here in the Placerville area, where
he has happily been assisting his "patients" for the past 4 years.

So far, as far as I've been able to discover, the success rate
following this surgery ranges from 30% to 60% survival longer that 18
months.  

If you know anything about this, I'd love to hear from you.  Thanks!

Please email or call - Jill
