Kona's penis will be amputated today. The vet will call me tonight to let me know how it went. She isnt the vet that saw kona before. That Vet is out for a couple weeks. I got this one off the TFO vet list. What a life saver for me. I think I really like her and she gave me more info on the possibilities of why kona keeps prolapsing than my regular tort vet. Heck, she spent more time with me on the phone discussing his issues and our options than I ever got in all my visits with the other vet... in total.
For those that know of Kona's partial paralysis in his rear legs, she says its likely the function that retracts his penis also has some paralysis. Now that makes sense to me.
I feel really relieved here ... to be honest, until I found this vet he was going to be euth'd today. It just felt so wrong but I was going to do it. ... Anyway, I'll post back later tonight.
