I’ve been awake all night and Im really torn in my decision. Had the vet out yesterday to my 32 year old with a hugely swollen penis. He shows no sign of pain or discomfort and is happily eating. Vet thinks sedation and try and catheritise today to do exploratory or to consider PTS. He has lost a lot of weight (age related-no other cause found) and is stiff in the back legs and has a heart murmur but bright eyed and always pleased to see me. I hate the thought of it happening in an emergency situation and also keep wondering if it’s right to put a horse of that age and health through such a procedure. I’ve had him since he was 3 and he is my horse of a lifetime. Could do with help to rationalise this
