Hie Doctor I have a Lhasa of 2years he is also having same conditions mentioned as in video i.e. testicle stuck in abodmen. Please suggest now can we do the surgery? What can be pros and cons of surgery?? What should be the age by which we can operate? Is there any alternative treatment?
Hello, I took my GSP to the vet for a well puppy exam when he was 12 weeks old. She didn't say anything about undescended testicles at that or future appointment. He is now 6 months old and something definitely doesn't look 'normal'. I'm concerned that she didn't notice it and am considering changing vets. Also, this is the second litter from the parents the breeder used for my pup. I will inform him when I am sure there's an issue, but wondered ... shouldn't he have known?
The breeder could have known or not. It's a recessive gene that will present in 25% of the litter and you could only see it in males though females can have that gene (it would not affect them as they have no testicles). Now if you bought the dog for breeding you ca complain as this is a defect, if it's a company dog though, you case will be more difficult...
The study is pretty vague and also doesn't seem to mention duration at all. I'd bet that the longer an undescended testicle is left unaddressed, the more likely it is to be prone to tumor, thus at 7 months, you'd be lower on that statistical average. However, I'm not sure anyone can say how far below said average you'd be at 7 months. I would also suggest that pre-puberty correction is probably significant in being lower on that average. Personally, I think I'd keep the pair if he wasn't post puberty(assuming the vet can descend it into the scrotum), and just keep an eye on them. But he should still have decent hormonal support with just one.
Hi doctor, I have a 10 weeks old pug puppy. He's very active, however, his testicles didn't drop yet. Pls suggest till what age of the puppy i need to wait before proceeding with next steps? also what's the likelihood of testicles drop?
I have a 14 year old schnauzer mix who I have thought all along was neutered. A vet recently discovered he may have this condition. At his age would surgery still be recommended? He is also diabetic.
Hey thanks for the informative video. I have a 9 month old Labrador whose both testicles didn't descend. Should we wait till he is a year old or will have to get them both removed at the earliest.
I have a toy yorky he is a little over four months and he only has one testical.The other one has not dropped .Should I be worried about his surgery since he only weighs 3 pds? Ty
the same case with my 6 years old mix breed pug, they feel pain for three the first-day first shiver, I thought they are experiencing abdominal pains or injury. 2nd day they don't want to be carried and the third day they slowly recover and eat..but still they feel pain and can not go up and down on stairs.
Thank you!!! I've been on here trying to find out what's wrong with my 4 yr. old Terrier it's so frustrating!

@@CriderPatrol127 Hi Crystal. I'm so sorry to read that you and your dog are going thru this. I came across this page... maybe they can help with care for your baby.

Hi doctor my 10 my months old Bordercollie has one testicles and the other one is in the abdomen. My vet recommended to do surgery after an year. After surgery and recovery can he lead a normal life. Is there any side effects and problems with the life expectancy?
Hi.. I have just been told by my vet that my young greyhound of 16 months old has only one testicle. They have advised that i should have him castrated as the other one cannot be felt and it could cause the dog to have cancer in later life. He is well bred and showing great potential to be a top dog and perhaps good enough to go to stud. In your opinion will i have to have him completely castrated or could they operate to try and remove the one that cannot be found. regards, ricky.
They can breed no problem, though the offspring can have the problem. Vets can take just one ball back and even put it back where it should be, though most vets don't want to do it.
@@Tanouuuu You are spreading information that is not true. The testicle that has been in the abdomen has been subjected to a higher temperature. It would not be functional. Typically these testicles in the abdomen are much smaller than the testicle in the scrotum and possibly cancerous. No vet would put the testicle back in the scrotum.
@@sunenasunena3591 Having one testicle is a genetic fault. Also, you can’t show a dog with one testicle, it would be disqualified. If you use this dog just as a breeder, 25% of the males will have only one testicle, and the females will pass this fault on to her puppies. A responsible breeder would not use a dog with one testicle. He should be neutered.
My nine month old pitbull has the same problem. I can feel his testicle inside the abdomen (outer part) He is the extra extra large breed, and I was told that it would descend by 12 months of age, for larger breeds, is that correct? If it doesn’t descend, would you know of any doctors in my area (California ) that would just take out the one testicle that’s in the putter abdomen? Every DR I spoke with suggest removing both, which I do not want to do. Thank you
The testicle that has been in the dog’s abdomen all this time is no longer fertile because it has been exposed to higher temperatures in his abdomen. The testicle will be smaller as well. No vet would put a diseased testicle back into a dog’s scrotum. Best to remove both for the health of your dog.
HI there I am desperate for help. My young 2year old mini dachshund is the most loveliest dog in the entire universe. He has a stuck testicle and we are getting it removed in the new year. Because he is such a sweet pup and I have grief anxiety, I am sweating about his operation. Will it be okay?
Hi there I just had my cryptorchid English Bulldog neutered he's just at 4 months and he's had complications from it I took him in for the second time today the vet there said he may have a hernia. He's got a huge bulge and it was weak being and they said that was normal but now it's bigger and it's bright red blood today and he was whining in pain. Could not sit or lay. Any thoughts about how I can deal with this or make it more comfortable or what's going to happen from here how can the doctor fix that I don't know? Will my dog have problems from this for his whole life? Thank you I appreciate your help!
What kinda time frame do I have on this my pup is a year old. My puppy has both his in his stomach. I’ve never spent money on a animal for something like that but I love him so so much. I thinks it’s gonna be expensive but I can’t not take care of him.
You need to pay the price now or you pay the price later. If the testicle has not dropped after a year of age the likelihood of the testicle dropping is almost zero. I would start putting a plan together and figuring out what you need to do to save the money or apply for something like Care credit to get the procedure done. You could always shop around at different veterinarians if you are financially constrained to see who would do it for the least expensive. That is going to be an exploratory surgery and I can't imagine it would be very inexpensive if both the testicles are truly in the abdomen. Sometimes if the testicles are superficial and not actually in the abdomen then it would be less costly
What about cats who have undescended testicles and they are a year old? My vets say nothing can be done and they say we have to wait for it to drop but he’s insistently marking
I adopted a kitten. I took him to the vet a few times to get neutered but they said his testicles didn’t descend. Today we set him up for surgery. They had to do exploratory surgery and found out there are NO testes at all. My vet said he’s never seen this before. He’s been a vet over 40 years. Have you ever seen or heard of this?
I wonder if the dog is a hermaphrodite. It’s very rare, but a dog will present with characteristics of both sexes. There may be a uterus in the abdomen instead.
Hello, my 3.5 month boxer had both testicle down one in the sack and other 1cm away from sack. After flight one of the testicle that was away from sack completely disappeared. Vet suggesting open surgery:(( Does it have a chance to go down again. Any massage can help. What about hormone therapy is it working? Thank you
There is no hormone therapy that I am aware of. The best exam is when the dog is sedated. Sometimes you can only really find the tresticle when they are sedated
Hi, my toy poodle is just over a year old and both of his testicles have not dropped. Will this become a problem in the future or is it something to not worry about? I've read online that it is quite common in toy poodles.
Hi I have a 7 half month toy Maltipoo and he has one testicle in his sac and there were days were I felt two, Then I check again it’s up his abdomen??? Does it move around ? Is this something I should be worried about
Hypothetically if there are say 3 male puppies in a litter and one of the pups has a retained testicle and the other two are normal would the normal boys be carriers of the gene that manifested the crypto male? Would it be overkill to also neuter the normal males just to be cautious or better to do a test breeding before throwing away the baby with the bath water?
Hello, yes I would think that the "normal" boys are most likely carriers for that gene of cryptorchid disease. So according to the philosophy of trying to promote the healthiest gene pool, none of the offspring should be allowed to reproduce. That being said, of all the diseases that could be prevented if that is the worst disease the dog has, then I think you should consider yourself pretty lucky.
Hi, I have a corgi pembroke that is 8 months old. He has a testicle in the groin area, I no longer expect it to fall down. breeder said he had both when we picked him up so I wonder if testicles can really climb up and down?😅 Also wondering how it usually affects dogs? for mine seems sexually frustrated and would like to ride on anything that has a pulse 🙄🤦♀️
Yeah my puppy’s 7month and he has one testicle in his sac and one in his groin area I felt both together in the same sack then it went back up after I checked couple weeks later
I have never heard of a testicle retracting back into the abdomen after it has been in the scrotum. I really doubt your puppy ever had 2 in there . I suggest asking your vet. If your dog seems sexually frustrated, take him in to be fixed. My German Shepherd dog just had surgery to neuter him. He had one testicle in his abdomen. The vet went in and removed it with the normal testicle. The testicle in his abdomen did not look normal he said. He sent it to a lab to make sure it had not turned cancerous. My dog is one year and four months old. Also, he has always only had one testicle in his scrotum, never two. Don’t wait for it to drop. For his health, have him neutered. 😊
Hello, hoping you respond here. My German shepherd has the same problem. My concern is if i remove the one that is stuck and leave the one that dropped, is there any studies that show somehow that one that dropped would cause medical issues down the line? One of my vets told me it would be a problem, but seemed like she just wanted me to neuter him. Thanks
One would think that it would not create any health problems for your dog directly by leaving the testicle that is already in the scrotum. The concern by veterinarians is that you would be propagating a potential disease in the gene pool if you were to try and breed the German shepherd. There are pros and cons to leaving animals intact meaning with their reproductive organs just as there are pros and cons to sexually altering meaning neutering or Spaying dogs
@@DrLera that’s what I figured, I am not planning on breeding him. Just never been a fan of neutering my dogs. I’ve heard not neutering your dog could cause issues/pain with them as they get older ?
Hi, I just want to ask something , my French bulldog have the same problem. We just discovered last month. My question is still safe for him to under go the operation he is now 3 years old.
Most likely it is okay for him to still undergo anesthesia and surgery. It's recommended that you perform the preoperative blood work to make sure all his organs are functioning normally and also a good idea to perform an electrocardiogram to look for any evidence of heart arrhythmias and or enlargements. Since you have a French bulldog wouldn't be a bad idea to have the airway evaluated since they are very prone to brachycephalic syndrome
If beagle has alkaline phosphate 4000, is it advisable to get his testicle remove. His one testicle is inside. Earlier inside testicle size is normal , but now growth is visible. Please advise.
I have a pit-bull whose 5. I was never told by the vet that it was important to remove the testicle my dog has inside his abdomen. I was never told because my dog never really got a physical examination, the nurses (or however they’re called) would just put his vaccines and tell me that was all he needed because they were afraid of him or thought him aggressive when he is not, my dog is sweetest dog there can be and now I fear for his life because I do not count with a lot of money for a surgery. This morning he started discharging some blood drops from his penis. Is it possible it might be due to the testicle he has in his abdomen? And also, can anyone provide me any info for making surgery more accessible and less expensive? I love my dog with all my heart and I don’t want him to get sick or get cancer from it. Please, I appreciate any info about any programs anyone might want to share me
All depends on the area that you live in. Sometimes the humane society will do surgeries like that. Otherwise you can look at staring a go fund me page to help pay for the cost of the surgery
@@DrLera Hello! Thank for replying. I appreciate it. So... my dog has been now diagnosed with cancer. And the vet told me he could not remove the testicle inside his abdomen. So, sadly, I just want to make his days better and not suffer. I wish I knew about my pet’s problem before. Is there any recommendations you can give me in sense of eating healthier or vitamins he can take? I know none of those would remove the cancer but I want him to at least feel no pain or be sad... thank u
I will give him about till he's 7 months old and if they haven't dropped by then you need to have them removed shortly afterwards. Most of the time the testicles will drop by the time that they are 5 months old if they haven't dropped after they're 5 months old odds are they're not going to drop
i got a dog that is 3 months old and i can feel the testicles in the abdomen, will they eventually come down withing the 6-7 months they have? Or are they just there now since he is 3 months old? That entire area is very hot whenever i give him belly rubs so i don't understand why they have not dropped by now, also the area where his scrotum is, is just completely flat, there's no excess skin to create it so i am not sure if that's a problem or if that's stopping them from dropping.
Chances are decreasing that the testicles will drop and will mean that he will need to have them removed to reduce the chance of them becoming cancerous
@@DrLera he doesn't have any fur on is crotch, could that be the reason they haven't dropped yet? as i know they drop due to internal body temp but can also stay there if its to cold
@@TeamAlloftheabove no not yet, though i can feel them or what i believe is one of them, i hope they will drop in the next couple of months as he is almost 5 months old
Hi dr. So my dog is 10 months old and his scrotum is not showing but its in its place. Should i go to the vet? or just wait until he’s one? Btw he’s a siberian husky
My 7m/o boxer only has 1 testicle and his vet wants to remove both. Idk why of the other is fine. Will he able to reproduce with just 1? Or is he right to want to competently neuter?
The can have only one but it is extremely rare. You would want to be sure the other isn't somewhere it is not palpable because it could potentially lead to cancer.
Hi doctor I had a husky he is 7 months old i can see only one testicle in his scrotum but I didn’t find any second testicle around his groin area ,my main doubt is -that this single testicle dog reproduce normal and can have offsprings?? Not it is impotent to reproduce
First, Thank you very much for the video. My dog is 8 weeks old Sebrian husky, he’s testicle didn’t drop yet, when would it be possible to be dropped ? And is there any kind of food or anything I can help to make it happen ?
I have a golden retriever and he just turned 6 months and he has 1 testicle till now ...should i wait till 9 months of age or is it the right age now to visit a doctor for surgery .please advice
If I have a patient that has one testicle that is undescended and the other testicle that is descended and they are a large or giant breed dog I would recommend waiting till they are about 12 to 13 months ago before neutering and or removing both of us
What is the solution for a 7 month old dachshund puppy to make the testicle drop and avoid surgery. Massage or some other thing that might help to locate it and push it down?
You don't have to remove the other testicle that is in the scrotum if you don't want to. That testicle is healthy most likely. The testicle that is not in the scrotum does need to be removed because it is at a much higher risk of turning into a tumor.
You can wait another few months till he is about 9 months. After that I would make sure to remove the undescended testicle for sure. He should not be added to the breeding pool.
If it hasnt come out by five months then chances are low that it will come out. Give it till about 9 months is typically what the reproductive specialist say. Always check with your vet
If neither one of the testicles drop into the scrotum then it will most likely be difficulty for him to breed because of the increase temp surrounding the testicles and having an impact on the sperm
He can still breed but your risking him getting cancer and also passing this off to his pups its best to get him fixed and rehome him if your only purpose is for breeding
The chances of the other testicle dropping are decreasing. You can give it till about 9 months of age. By then my recommendation is to have at least the testicle that has not come down to be removed. As I said in the video testicles that do not descend into the scrotum are more likely to develop into tumors
Yes, It should drop into place by 4 or 5 months of age. If it's not there by that point the chances start going down significantly that it is going to go back to normal
Actually I do have a male beagle and his both testicles have not descend yet. His age is currently 1 year 10 months.. So what to do now. Could you please suggest
My lab pup age 101 days ..till his testicles in his abdomen instead of his testicles pocket ... So what's the theropy or medicine I can give him to overcome that problem??
If it doesnt come out by about 5 months the usually itnis not gonna come out. No treatment to get it to drop in the scrotum. It is recommended to remove the testicle that has not dropped
Hey so my dog has 1 undescended testicle , we want him to have puppies with another dog before we neuter him. do you think that his testicle will be a problem with reproduction?

If it hasn't dropped by nine months of age then it will likely not drop and it will require surgery. There is no therapy that can help it descend.

That being said, of all the diseases that could be prevented if that is the worst disease the dog has, then I think you should consider yourself pretty lucky.
Hi, I have a corgi pembroke that is 8 months old. He has a testicle in the groin area, I no longer expect it to fall down. breeder said he had both when we picked him up so I wonder if testicles can really climb up and down?😅
Also wondering how it usually affects dogs? for mine seems sexually frustrated and would like to ride on anything that has a pulse 🙄🤦♀️
Yeah my puppy’s 7month and he has one testicle in his sac and one in his groin area I felt both together in the same sack then it went back up after I checked couple weeks later
@@aleshamoralez8227 I have a 7 months ..he only has 1 should I give it a Lil more time before panic
I have never heard of a testicle retracting back into the abdomen after it has been in the scrotum. I really doubt your puppy ever had 2 in there . I suggest asking your vet. If your dog seems sexually frustrated, take him in to be fixed. My German Shepherd dog just had surgery to neuter him. He had one testicle in his abdomen. The vet went in and removed it with the normal testicle. The testicle in his abdomen did not look normal he said. He sent it to a lab to make sure it had not turned cancerous. My dog is one year and four months old. Also, he has always only had one testicle in his scrotum, never two. Don’t wait for it to drop. For his health, have him neutered. 😊
@@aleshamoralez8227 I hope you have had your dog neutered, and the testicle in his abdomen Is no longer a danger to his health. 😊
At what age is it good if they have a retain testicle to have them neutered? Is it a bad thing to wait till they’re 12 months old?
Hello, hoping you respond here. My German shepherd has the same problem. My concern is if i remove the one that is stuck and leave the one that dropped, is there any studies that show somehow that one that dropped would cause medical issues down the line? One of my vets told me it would be a problem, but seemed like she just wanted me to neuter him. Thanks
One would think that it would not create any health problems for your dog directly by leaving the testicle that is already in the scrotum. The concern by veterinarians is that you would be propagating a potential disease in the gene pool if you were to try and breed the German shepherd. There are pros and cons to leaving animals intact meaning with their reproductive organs just as there are pros and cons to sexually altering meaning neutering or Spaying dogs
@@DrLera that’s what I figured, I am not planning on breeding him. Just never been a fan of neutering my dogs. I’ve heard not neutering your dog could cause issues/pain with them as they get older ?
Hi, I just want to ask something , my French bulldog have the same problem. We just discovered last month. My question is still safe for him to under go the operation he is now 3 years old.
Most likely it is okay for him to still undergo anesthesia and surgery. It's recommended that you perform the preoperative blood work to make sure all his organs are functioning normally and also a good idea to perform an electrocardiogram to look for any evidence of heart arrhythmias and or enlargements. Since you have a French bulldog wouldn't be a bad idea to have the airway evaluated since they are very prone to brachycephalic syndrome
Are cryptorchid animals with one testicle in the scrotum sterile, or are they still fertile?
If beagle has alkaline phosphate 4000, is it advisable to get his testicle remove. His one testicle is inside. Earlier inside testicle size is normal , but now growth is visible. Please advise.
Can the testical be popped or surgically moved into the testical
I have a pit-bull whose 5. I was never told by the vet that it was important to remove the testicle my dog has inside his abdomen. I was never told because my dog never really got a physical examination, the nurses (or however they’re called) would just put his vaccines and tell me that was all he needed because they were afraid of him or thought him aggressive when he is not, my dog is sweetest dog there can be and now I fear for his life because I do not count with a lot of money for a surgery. This morning he started discharging some blood drops from his penis. Is it possible it might be due to the testicle he has in his abdomen? And also, can anyone provide me any info for making surgery more accessible and less expensive? I love my dog with all my heart and I don’t want him to get sick or get cancer from it. Please, I appreciate any info about any programs anyone might want to share me
All depends on the area that you live in. Sometimes the humane society will do surgeries like that. Otherwise you can look at staring a go fund me page to help pay for the cost of the surgery
@@DrLera Hello! Thank for replying. I appreciate it. So... my dog has been now diagnosed with cancer. And the vet told me he could not remove the testicle inside his abdomen. So, sadly, I just want to make his days better and not suffer. I wish I knew about my pet’s problem before. Is there any recommendations you can give me in sense of eating healthier or vitamins he can take? I know none of those would remove the cancer but I want him to at least feel no pain or be sad... thank u
Hello dr. I have beagle and he just turned 1 . He dont have any of his testicels outside his body… what should i do
I’m in the same boat with my French is.. he is 2 years old.
My puppy has both of them un this abdubmon
I will give him about till he's 7 months old and if they haven't dropped by then you need to have them removed shortly afterwards. Most of the time the testicles will drop by the time that they are 5 months old if they haven't dropped after they're 5 months old odds are they're not going to drop
i got a dog that is 3 months old and i can feel the testicles in the abdomen, will they eventually come down withing the 6-7 months they have? Or are they just there now since he is 3 months old? That entire area is very hot whenever i give him belly rubs so i don't understand why they have not dropped by now, also the area where his scrotum is, is just completely flat, there's no excess skin to create it so i am not sure if that's a problem or if that's stopping them from dropping.
Chances are decreasing that the testicles will drop and will mean that he will need to have them removed to reduce the chance of them becoming cancerous
@@DrLera he doesn't have any fur on is crotch, could that be the reason they haven't dropped yet? as i know they drop due to internal body temp but can also stay there if its to cold
have they dropped yet ?
@@TeamAlloftheabove no not yet, though i can feel them or what i believe is one of them, i hope they will drop in the next couple of months as he is almost 5 months old
Hi dr. So my dog is 10 months old and his scrotum is not showing but its in its place. Should i go to the vet? or just wait until he’s one? Btw he’s a siberian husky
If the testicles have not dropped into place then you need to go to the veterinarian
Heron Lakes Animal Hospital thank you so much!
My 7m/o boxer only has 1 testicle and his vet wants to remove both. Idk why of the other is fine. Will he able to reproduce with just 1? Or is he right to want to competently neuter?
What if you only see the one that dropped but I feel no other one . can a dog only have one.
The can have only one but it is extremely rare. You would want to be sure the other isn't somewhere it is not palpable because it could potentially lead to cancer.
Hi doctor
I had a husky he is 7 months old i can see only one testicle in his scrotum but I didn’t find any second testicle around his groin area ,my main doubt is -that this single testicle dog reproduce normal and can have offsprings?? Not it is impotent to reproduce
First, Thank you very much for the video.
My dog is 8 weeks old Sebrian husky, he’s testicle didn’t drop yet, when would it be possible to be dropped ? And is there any kind of food or anything I can help to make it happen ?
How are things turning out like? Any luck ?
Can you breed a dog with one testicle? Is that recommend?
Yes you can breed a dog with one testicle. It is not usually recommended because you be breeding the retained testicle into tiger dogs potentially
I have a golden retriever and he just turned 6 months and he has 1 testicle till now ...should i wait till 9 months of age or is it the right age now to visit a doctor for surgery .please advice
If I have a patient that has one testicle that is undescended and the other testicle that is descended and they are a large or giant breed dog I would recommend waiting till they are about 12 to 13 months ago before neutering and or removing both of us
I live in Canada and I’m looking for CKC registered Bichon Frise. One of boy bestiales didn’t dropped till 8 weeks old. I want the dogs for breeding.
Is that possible to make it drop...
If it hasn't dropped by nine months of age then it will likely not drop and it will require surgery.
@@DrLera will he be able to have kids afterwards I plan on making my pugs family members to the future generations of my kids
@@antoniollanas1119 no sadly
Hello goodnoon..my question is..is it possible one testicle can produce a puppies?
Yes
Is this only for male dogs or can females carry the trait
Females can most likely pass on the trait if their father potentially had it. It's not 100% but it is possible
Would that make them incontinent,4 year old constantly peeing inside
Where does this kind of problem in male dog they get them ?
Why does this issue happened and where did they get this kind of problem?
What is the solution for a 7 month old dachshund puppy to make the testicle drop and avoid surgery. Massage or some other thing that might help to locate it and push it down?
No pushing it down. Has to be surgically removed
@@DrLera No, I dont want my puppy neutered. there muat be a solution to push ot down.
You don't have to remove the other testicle that is in the scrotum if you don't want to. That testicle is healthy most likely. The testicle that is not in the scrotum does need to be removed because it is at a much higher risk of turning into a tumor.
My Frenchie is 7 months and one of his never dropped down. Does that mean I need to have him neutered?
Should definitely get the one testicle removed and the one in scrotum could stay but we wouldnt recommend breeding him
@@DrLera Why not exactly?
Do you recommend me to neuter my dog so far he has only drop one testicle , he is a 6 month French bulldog ?
You can wait another few months till he is about 9 months. After that I would make sure to remove the undescended testicle for sure. He should not be added to the breeding pool.
Could this specific dog reproduce with the one testicle after the other is removed?
Hi Cody, yes, yes he could.
Hi i Have 5 months old Chow Chow and he had only 1 Testicle should I have to wait? thanks
If it hasnt come out by five months then chances are low that it will come out. Give it till about 9 months is typically what the reproductive specialist say. Always check with your vet
My has 4
My dog has one undescended testicle, if I don't have surgery, he is in danger,? he is 3 years old, he is very active
The undescended testcile at risk of becoming a tumor which could be very problematic. So I recommend removing the abnormal testcile asap
If the testicles don't drop is it possible that he can still breed? Or is the dog be sterile?
If neither one of the testicles drop into the scrotum then it will most likely be difficulty for him to breed because of the increase temp surrounding the testicles and having an impact on the sperm
@@DrLera thanks
He can still breed but your risking him getting cancer and also passing this off to his pups its best to get him fixed and rehome him if your only purpose is for breeding
My French bulldog is 5 1/2 months and only one testicle has dropped.. should I worry?
The chances of the other testicle dropping are decreasing. You can give it till about 9 months of age. By then my recommendation is to have at least the testicle that has not come down to be removed. As I said in the video testicles that do not descend into the scrotum are more likely to develop into tumors
An you tell me why this happens?
Genetics
My pit only has one testicle he is two years pld almost 3 im i too late to nure him could his health get complicated ?
Not too late to remove the testicle that has not dropped. Take care of it sooner rather than later
I just realized that my dog may have this and he’s already 4 years old. Os surgery safe for a dog this old if he has an undecended testicles?
Yes it is safe for you dog to undergo the surgery based on his age
@@DrLera i heard there’s a higher chance of bleeding if he undergoes surgery at 4 years old, is this true or not always?
If my pups are six weeks and have floating testicles is that normal?
Yes, It should drop into place by 4 or 5 months of age. If it's not there by that point the chances start going down significantly that it is going to go back to normal
My puppy a beagle is 6 months old and has no testicles dropped. Is it wise to remove the testicles that is inside his abdomen
Yes it is recommend to remove intrabdominal testicles
I just got my puppy cockapoo his name is Paco.. 😔 8 weeks old and his balls has not dropped I’m worried 😢
What if there is only one testical by birth
Hi. Sir my gsd dog having single testicles. In used in breeding any problem come or not sir
I'm not sure what you mean can you provide a little bit clearer communication for me so I can try and give you the best information possible
Sir my 5mnths greatdane got same prlm.. there is no testicles pls help me sir...
Actually I do have a male beagle and his both testicles have not descend yet. His age is currently 1 year 10 months.. So what to do now. Could you please suggest
Needs to have surgery to have them removed. The vet may want an ultrasound
@@DrLera Thanks for the update.. 🙌
My lab pup age 101 days ..till his testicles in his abdomen instead of his testicles pocket ... So what's the theropy or medicine I can give him to overcome that problem??
If it doesnt come out by about 5 months the usually itnis not gonna come out. No treatment to get it to drop in the scrotum. It is recommended to remove the testicle that has not dropped
If dog having one testiscle we can give for crossing
Hi i have a 9mnths pomeranian turning 10 in dec 19 and i only feel 1 testicle to him?what should i do?
Take him to the veterinarian to find the other testicle. It may require abdominal ultrasound
@@DrLera But I search on google and said that pomeranian only have one testicle?
My belusky 1 ball drop only
Mi puppy is 3 months and just have 1 testicle… is the other one comes down or not ? 😨
You have about a month or two before it becomes unlikely
Pug is 6 months old but his testicles are still next to it's pennies. Will they drop down.
most likely not. There is still a small chance that they can but it is highly unlikely that they will drop into the scrotum.
Is he still able to breed
Yes!
My gsd also have a single testicle.. he is healthy... is there is any disadvantages of have single testicle? And is there is a activity changes in it?
No disadvantages to my knowledge. Not really on what you are asking on the second question.
Hey so my dog has 1 undescended testicle , we want him to have puppies with another dog before we neuter him. do you think that his testicle will be a problem with reproduction?
Yes dont breed him because all of his puppies will have same problem
Hi there I just had my cryptorchid English Bulldog neutered he's just at 4 months and he's had complications from it I took him in for the second time today the vet there said he may have a hernia. He's got a huge bulge and it was weak being and they said that was normal but now it's bigger and it's bright red blood today and he was whining in pain. Could not sit or lay. Any thoughts about how I can deal with this or make it more comfortable or what's going to happen from here how can the doctor fix that I don't know? Will my dog have problems from this for his whole life? Thank you I appreciate your help!
I just got my puppy cockapoo his name is Paco.. 😔 8 weeks old and his balls has not dropped I’m worried 😢
