| Really strange "anatomy" question... Hi everyone, I apologize in advance for this question but every little thing that happens to our babies worry us So my sister just called me and said that she noticed that her dog's testicles are black and they have never been that color. To my recollection, I beileve they were a light beige type color...(Even as I type this, I have to laugh)...Has anyone heard of that ever happening? He just turned 2 last week. Any ideas? |

| I know you said they are black but are you sure it is both? Did they both descend?

| I just googled it and am finding three answers: If one did not descend, it could be cancer. It is normal and happens to a lot of males. Talk to a vet. So take your choice.

| What do you mean by descend? Like dropped down lower? |

| Yes. Both need to lower. Sometimes one or both stay in the abdomen and the dog is about 13 times more likely to get testicular cancer if that happens and they are not neutered.

| They both dropped a while ago. Probably around his first bday I believe. It just seems that they both have changed to a black color. He was licking himself yesterday and today but no more than normal. |
