I was absolutely positive that is what it was and that there was something still in his little man area that they didn't probably remove.

However, a trip to a new vet revealed that the original people that neutered him just rushed to much with the surgery. Their rushing caused the extra bad swelling, and that is why it felt like there was a testicle still in there. However, it was nothing and after about 3-4 weeks of healing everything went back to usual. There was no more "round" feeling object in his scrotum and there was no more swelling.

I'm not saying that this is the case with chewbacca, but it very well may could be. Definitely get the second opinion... because it has happened where vets make mistakes and don't properly remove everything ... but to me, it just sounds like you're suffering with some very similar problems that I did with Dexter.

Hoping for the best for your little baby :( I would hate for him to have to go through surgery again!

OMG thank you I am hoping it is just something like that. Yeah I had posted a pic in my album on here. I don't know how to attach it or I would. But his scrotum was super swollen like 5-6 times the size it was before the surgery.

Just saw the picture, and while I must say that Dexter's neutering wasn't quite that dark in color their scrotum areas definitely look extremely similar. Dexter's swelled up to be that size, and was still pretty black and blue. Where did you get him neutered at? The day Dexter was neutered, what I didn't know until I got there to pick him up, was that there were 13 other dogs and 4 cats there were scheduled to be neutered on the same day. There was only two vets, and one of them didn't show up until the afternoon. So needless to say, they rushed. They rushed very quickly to get all of their patients fixed before the pick up deadline. That definitely contributed to the severe bruising and swelling. It is VERY sensitive down there lol .... and rushing to get the job done is definitely going to cause some bruising and swelling. Hopefully your vet will put your mind at ease and tell you that is the only problem.

I take him to a pretty small vet. I asked before his surgery and they said they only had 4 nueter/spays that morning. But I guess they could of lied. I have gone here for quite awhile. Makes me sad since I really like this vet. Ugh hopefully it's nothing
