| Testicles not descended on 16 wk puppy My 16wk 2lbs puppy's testicles have not descended yet and my vet doesn't think they will come down if they have not by this time. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with this, he also says the surgery to remove them will be more costly than the normal surgery. I am wondering what other have experienced with this problem. The breeder did say his fathers testicles did not come down till he was 5 mos old. Thanks Tammy |

| One of Siu Pao's testicle descended when he was 15 weeks old. I have read lots of articles. Some puppies take longer. If he doesn't it is a little more expensive to neuter. The condition is called cryptorchidism.

| My puppy's were both descended when I got him at 8 weeks --- so it obviously can vary quite a bit. Carol Jean |
