Prepucial MCT have a more aggressive clinical course. I did see one a few years ago that had a penile amputation with urethrostomy. It metastasized and was euthanased 6 months later.

Options are biopsy pending surgery, or Masivet / alternative therapy (preds etc) - or refer.

Depends how confident you are surgically, what the owner wants and what the budget is.

If this was my dog I'd probably pin my hopes on masivet first, but you need some idea of grade and for that you need a biopsy.

You can do a full penile amputation with a perineal ursthrostomy. Not particularly nice surgery in a dog and quite a high complication rate

Else small margins with prepuce advancement a possibility. May be best to biopsy for grade first?
