| Need advice I've been putting off having Scooter neutered but today when he was at the vet's for a checkup she said he has both testicles undecended and she's not really sure where they are. She said they probably are "hiding" and she showed me what seem to be their outlines on either side of his penis and it won't be a problem to neuter him but if they aren't there then the other place they would be in his stomach. She said if they are in the stomach they have a greater than normal chance of becoming malignant. She is the second vet to tell me this and I want to do the right thing for him but the stomach surgery will be very difficult. Has anyone heard of this? I'm very upset right now.

| It will be fine. They are just in the abdomen. Going and "finding them" is no worse than a spay. Neutering is even more important in a case like this. No big worries though.

| OK thanks. I would die if anything happened to my little doll. I know he has to have this done and I was so worried that it would be major, dangerous surgery.
