| I will deffinately do research.I wrot cryptorchid down to tell my vet next minth.I was so confused today.I asked him if Jasper was a morhidite and he said no and could not stop laughing! I am not in my right frame of mind today ever since he said: get your $$$ back VIcki! I beleive God put Jasper & I together for a reason. We are inseperable. My original plan was not to get a new yorkie till next year cuz I am going to start watching my newborn grandson while my daughter works next month but Jasper is great with my 5yr old grandbaby and will share me with Xavier |

| Prayers going out for you and your pup that this works out in the end for you. The breeder should rightfully so return some of your money or pay for the surgery if needed. I am just as furious as the vet.

| I never had a dog with this, but I did had a horse, and when the Doc opened him up they fell right down, and everything was fine. I'll pray you have the same outcome.

YT 500 Club Member | one of Armani's testicles has not dropped. The vet told me its common, a little more expensive to neuter but basically said that one 1 in 10 dogs has this. They make a small incision on the belly and basically pull the testicle out. She wants to wait until Armani is 8 months to neuter so who knows maybe it will descend by then

| I agree with everyone here that it could be that he is still young and they just haven't descended yet. It can happen to humans, too as I had a little kindergartner this year who that happened to (I have no idea why but his parents felt the need to clue me in! ) On another note it's nice to see another YTer from Massachusetts!

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | its honestly not that big of a deal since he's still so young. It may drop on its own. Either way i'd have him neutered at 6 months. the procedure will just be alittle longer then a regular neuter and he'll have two incisions instead of one. Don't worry about it rupturing, its very uncommon. You're not going to do anything to make it happen. An undescended testicle doesn't hurt, he doesn't even know something is wrong.

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | Keeping my fingers crossed that he'll drop by himself soon. If not it sounds like you have a GREAT vet. Good luck.

| One Ball Higgins! The breeder was upfront in telling us that Higgins had one testicle that had not dropped. Our wonderful vet was not concerned and said it probably would come down on its own. It made its appearance when Higgins was 4 months old as I recall. The vet said that if it had not dropped, that they would remove it when we neutered him and that it was a common problem and we should not worry about it too much. |

| I had a poodle that was a cryporchid, he did fine just a few dollars more to neuter. He is fine. That was 6 yrs ago and he was only 2 lbs. It is very common.
