Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I am sorry to hear that max has this problem. I would recommend a consultation with a veterinary oncologist to discuss this further. It is likely that surgical removal and chemotherapy will be recommended. Complete penile amputation combined with perineal urethrostomy (creating a new hole to urinate from in the perineum) is likely what will be recommended. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Below is a helpful article that discusses this further in detail. http://www.vin.com/apputil/content/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=11181&meta=generic&catId=30097&id=3852322
