Are you thinking of the greyhound in New Mexico?

What you are seeing as a "small penis that sticks out" is clitoral hypertrophy from testosterone given to keep females from going into heat. From Dr. Stack....scroll way down link

So glad sweet Brody is getting better, and prayers continue.

Sending prayers.

Sending prayers for your sweet girlie.

The surgery itself is reconstruction surgery, there shouldn't be anything "exploratory" about it. I am positve if he consults with Ohio State or any other vet school they will know what needs to be done. Is this a vet who has been out of school a long time? Could you print out the info that is available online and take it to him? Look under "episioplasty" or "vulvaplasty". This is not a totally unusual problem in female greyhounds. See this link, it has pictures and everything. epsioplasty with pictures

So good that Tootsie is feeling better!

Sending lots of prayers.

As long as the vet is knowledgeable on current anesthesia protocols, and takes the precautions of blood work first, before surgery, keeps her on fluids before, during and immediately after surgery, monitors her temperature, she should be fine. My vet also keeps an EKG before, during and after. Those are questions I would ask, "what is your standard protocol for greyhounds in surgery?" This surgery is external, it is not going into the abdomen, or any organ, or any bone. I can't answer the question on extra cost. Only you can answer that for your dog.

I sent you the "no bite" collar, and wow, that was a long time ago. The surgery is called episioplasty or vulvaplasty. If the vet is not familiar with this surgery then he can consult with a surgical vet at A & M University vet school, I know they are familiar with it. I would think any vet school surgical department could be consulted. See this article link My Renie wore an elizabethan collar for three weeks. She healed beautifully and has never had a problem in that area since. Renie's surgery was done at A & M. It won't ever get any better without the surgical correction.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed William...run with the angels.

What a sweet, sweet picture of Darcy and Duffy

Have any of the vets suggested allergy testing? I would suspect contact or airborne allergies.

Sending prayers.
