After an examination it seems our boy's testicles are nowhere to be found/touched by a physical exam and he is cryptorchid. I suspected it but wanted to wait for a few months to see if anything changes. Will go for an ultrasound end of this week because our vet said she needs to locate them as it will make the neuter less invasive. Will do blood tests and I asked to check liver enzymes as well. Kinda broke down in the vet's office just thinking that this means a longer surgery and more stitches and longer recovery... My heart was shrinking at a thought of a normal neuter but now..((( I've read old forum threads/posts on the topic but all of them are quite old. Anyone's furbabies here went through this? Just need some reassuarance and maybe advice on whether there's anything extra we should check during exam/preparation before neuter.
