I adopted a rescue Oct 17th. He has un-descended testicles and they require he be neutered by Nov 30th. I am terrified! He is one year old and very healthy, but the risks seem so high with the toy breeds, and from what I have researched the un-descended testicles can be an invasive surgery. I am feeling so very guilty. He was pretty thin when I got him home. He has put on almost one pound since then.

He is making the transition just fantastic, but now I have to put him through another traumatic event just as he is feeling comfortable and at peace-and I am very worried for him.

If anyone has had experience with this type of neuter please share. This has been weighing heavily on my conscience.
