A couple of years ago we noticed a little bump close to the tip of the penis of our pug (he is 6 years old now), but the vet said we should not worry about it. Three months ago, the dog started bleeding several drops of very red blood every day. As we grew concerned, we looked for a second opinion. The vet took a tisue sample of the bump and had it analyzed. The results said it was a benigne tumor. The vet said the dog had a deformity in the tip of the penis, and that she had to reconstruct the urethra. She operated the dog, and everyting seemed fine until five days ago, when the dog started to bleed again. We went back to the vet, and she said that she would have to operate again, to fix another problem with the urethra. We asked for a third opinion, and the sample of the bump taken this time, turned out to be malignant. The vet sais our dog has cancer and that she will have to amputate the dog´s penis. Does this seem reasonable? Is it possible that the diagnosis is wrong?

Asked to be referred to a veterinary oncologist or university vet hospital with an oncology department and confirm that is what it is, if cancer they will explain options and odds so as to help make the best decision, I would also use them to do the surgery if needed.
