Hmph, Well at least they didn't say “ Ya his one testie is there” so that’s good. Poor guy! Hopefully it will go down some in a couple days and you will get some relief.

Oh, gosh I'm just seeing this. What an awful thing for your poor baby to go through. Maybe it is common in their vet clinic for this kind of thing to happen but in my many years of experience of having animals neutered it has never happened to any of mine or the ones I have been responsible for, not to mention friends, family, etc. I hope you consider having him looked at by some other professional who can give an honest opinion. They would have had to do some ruff handling to cause that kind of tissue damage.

That is not always so. Pet's just like in humans some bruise easier than others.
Every time I get a blood draw you would swear someone had beat me, I brusie very easy.

Me too, I am 31 and if you flick me it looks like I was punched!! My Mom and Gma are both like that as well.. I guess I received some of their genes.

She said that because of the hematoma he had after surgery it is not uncommon for there to be scar tissue and some blood that makes it feel like there is still a testicle. He was the only neuter the day he had surgery and they dug through the "trash" to make sure that there was two testicles in there and there was. She said it could take a couple months for it to be completely flat and to do warm compresses on it. I am going to give it a couple weeks and see if there is any difference. If not i will be taking him to a different vet office to get a second opinion. I do feel somewhat better but I will not feel completely better until it is gone.

I am very happy to hear Chewbacca is okay and I hope he heals quickly now so that you don't have to worry.

The office still had the testicles??

That is what his vet said is he could just be a really easy bruiser. And a friend of the family that is a vet in another state said the same thing

Has his bruising improved since his neuter?

No they had looked through the trash the day he was neutered because the Dr. Was so worried about his swelling she was wondering if she got them both herself that day. Lol

Well it does look a lot better- so that’s good!! Hopefully he just keeps improving, that really stinks this surgery has been so horrible on you both!

((hugs))

Okay, that makes sense, lol.

Chewbacca's surgical site is looking a lot better! I was thinking back to my boys neutering, they were done by different doctors. Max's surgical site wasn't as "clean" as Teddy's and took longer, a few weeks, to completely disappear.

Praying that Chewbacca's looks even better in a week or two.

[Chewbaccasmom]

Thank you everyone. I seriously don't know what I would do without this site. I have no other Yorkie owners that I know and I have no one who understands my worry. But you all do and for that I thank you all!

I agree with Deanna, it is hard to imagine that a vet would forget to remove a testicle. With the swelling and severe bruising, I think what you are feeling on him must be something else. The ball you feel is where the testicles were? I remember thinking my vet had messed up when I saw the two little round glands protrude midway between the penis and testicles. Can't remember the name of these glands.

Best wishes for Chewbacca to be back to 100% soon.

Your right its the bulbourous gland
