Special Condition- Prolapsed Penis

My male chin, Jack had prolapsed penis for almost 2 months now.




Visited exotic vet several times, did anaesthesia,

Did urine analysis, sample collected and sent to the lab,

Small cut made on penis to figure out what's happening




So conclusion was, there is a small lump made of white fibrous tissue

On base of his penis thus penis can't retract back into the sheath.




Theoretically, there is possibility that the penis could retract back when the lump is removed by surgery

but they never tried or seen similar case thus they can not suggest it and can not be certain that it will actually retract back after the surgery.




However, vet said, he have a special condition now that his penis is prolapsed
And his penis cannot be pulled out for full length.

But he seems healthy (eating.drinking.urinate.poop all fine. No dental issue, no hair ring) and his penis seems ok to be prolapsed according to the vet.





Problem is, I think friction on penis occurs when he moves around.

I found a scab today on his sheath.

Vet said lubrication is not necessary, but can be helpful

thus I lubricate it daily or once in two days.




I don't really want to let vet do the surgery as they never did it before

(They are only vet that can do the medical check for chinchillas in my region)




But is it better for him to do the surgery?




I will include the pic of his penis condition.
