Hi all,
My little guy (almost 7 years old) has an undescended testical. It has never seemed to cause him any pain of discomfort. But recently at our vet visit the dr mentioned that this could later cause cancer if I didnt get him neutered.
Seeing that he is an adult I am worried about putting him through this trauma. Is keeping him the way he is a terrible risk? I can see both testicals one is just a bit higher than the other. I want to keep healthy for as long as I can! I tried reading up on it online and it was 50/50. What should I do? Please send advice!
