I keep getting conflicting answers. Vet said he has colorectal or prostate cancer. Two here say gas and feces build up. His testicles are like orange size and Dr said swell in back legs is called edema compromised circulation. Vets here don't have the patient and can go only by the attached x-rays. He also has impacted fistulas. Dr recommend euthenasia. Gas build up isn't the same as cancer Blood work shows wbc 43.35 see attached

It sounds like prostatitis and/or cancer. I'm not exactly sure what your question is. We don't have enough information to be able to guide you to a decision. I do not think it is simple gas/constipation. The fistulas and the size of the testicles is very concerning. I think you should consider taking him to an internal medicine specialist for a consult.
