I would probably get a second opinion --this is a big decision to but an older dog through surgery. What about chemical castration -- hormone therapy? What is causing it? Could it be a nerve problem? Stimulating certain pelvic nerves can cause an erection. So, what about meds that help settle the nerve endings -- like gabapentin? These are all questions I would ask -- but ultimately you pretty much have to trust that the vet is making the best decision.
