Re: [RC] equine penile amputation for cancer - steelsidedownHaven't dealt with amputation... but similiar condition to think about.... Had a client horse (deceased now) that was a hermaphrodite. He did not have a penis but urinated out from his sheath. Because of this, he could not control the "stream" and it sprayed all over his belly and back of his front legs. Poor thing had miserable scald (no hair, sores & ooze) from this constantly. :-( Jen ---- grannynhorses@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: 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!
