By the way he really is a handsome little devil. I wish dh would let me have another! He looks like he could be related to my Adie. |
To the OPer~To the OPer your little guy is very cute. I hope he finds a wonderful new home
Hey there Lou
To answer your question, yes it is considered genetic and can be passed on to offspring. I believe that is why he is being sold~but please correct me if I am wrong.
Many times a neuter will be more extensive and costly when the testicle(s) have not dropped. There is always the possibility that they will be up inside of the abdomen and even intestines. Bogey had one side that did not drop but the vet
was able to feel it prior to his neuter~thank goodness.
I'm wondering what the vet has said about this little guy? Are they palpable on exam or will additional exploratory surgery be needed?
