Recently I diagnosed a client's stallion with testicular cancer. In horses this is readily curable with castration as metastatic cancer is very very rare in horses. They did not like my answer that the horse needed surgery because the culture the husband comes from has strong feelings about manhood. He said castration is the same as slitting the horse's throat ( wtf the horse has NEVER in His whole life been allowed to breed . he is constantly frustrated and upset during breeding season. Personally I think he'd be happier gelded...) I set up a second opinion at an equine specialist hospital for them.
Instead they go to their dog vet and ask their advice
Testicular cancer in dogs metastasizes rapidly.she told them the horse was probably already littered with cancer. Wtf???a dog vet???I would NEVER advise a client about their dog's cancer.
If they didn't trust the specialist I selected there are two other equine specialist hospitals within a 90,minute drive they could go to.for a second opinion
Their dog vet told them just wait and hell get depressed and let you know when it is time.
No he wont. He will be in lots of pain because he has a 10 lb testicle. He will be skin and bones and hyper because he is making WAY too much testosterone. And he could stay in that painful depleted state for YEARS!!!!
I am so angry I want to punch something.
