My male chihuahua has undescended testicles and we waited until he was over a year to fix him but they never came down. They just made 2 little 1/4" incisions on both sides and just took them out. It wasn't that big of deal and the procedure only cost a little more than a normal neuter. I was told that the testicles have more of a chance of getting a cancerous tumor if you leave them undescended. Good Luck!!
My vet said the exact same thing. She could only feel one of Tucker's because he had an inguinal hernia, but once they got started on his neutering they found both.
