Dog has only one testicle

[johnbjohn]

I have an 8 month old black lab, and my problem is that he only has one testicle, would it be better for him to be snipped.

[factor-fiction]

I know nothing about dogs but I 'm puzzled as to why his having one testicle might be a reason to have him snipped.

How does he smell ?

Oh no, sorry ... that's a different joke.

Is his name Hitler..?

[Roughquest]

Are you sure he only has one? He may have one that has not 'dropped' called an undescended testicle, better let a vet check him out first and they can give you their expert opinion....

I wish I'd thought of that.

Sometimes they can drop right up tlll they are about fourteen months old. It is not unusual for them to still be retained at about nine or ten months. However if it is retained in the abdomen they can become cancerous, and castration is usually recommended. If it is, castration is not quite so straight forward, because they have to go into the abdomen to remove it, rather than do it from the outside. Then you have to decide which is the greater threat, anaesthetic and operation or the chance of it becoming cancerous in later life. I would give it a month or two then get your vet to advise.
