First of all, Ozzy is one handsome guy and I'm sorry to hear that he's been diagnosed with a TCC. A protruded penis from the prepuce is referred to as paraphimosis, but this condition is not known to be directly related to transitional cell carcinomas. Paraphimosis can occur due to trauma, excessive hair, foreign material in the prepuce, neoplasia of the prepuce or penis itself (TCC typically occurs within the bladder at the trigone), among others. You can try to use a water based lubricant and a cool compress to try to very gently pull the prepuce back over the penis. If this is unsuccessful, I recommend taking Ozzy to his vet for further intervention. I hope that all goes well!
