Years and years ago I had a Sheltie who was cryptic. Meaning his testicles didn't drop. They reccomend surgery (Nueturing) due to rupturing but also due to the fact that there is a higher rate of cancer associated when a dog is cryptic. I hope I'm spelling that right. lol. Anyway, I'm sorry you are going through this but neutering is better for them anyway if you have no intention on breeding. Sometimes dogs are born cryptic even from teh best breeders. Although I will agree that it happens more times then it should when the pup was born in a puppymill. Elaine |
