It will be a month on sunday that he has been with me. Doc said to keep my fingers crossed that his balls will drop,otherwisw surgury will be a must, rupturung is an awful pssibility.His secretary called me an hour agoand id he called the original breeder @ left her a lengthy message.He was furious.I am on a fixed income,I hope if God forbid he needs surgury,he will let me do a payment plan.Meanwhile I am supposed to treat him as usual.

| My daughter bought a pug at 14wks and the vet said one of his testie's were up inside and not down in the soctum. Sometimes they come down on their own later in time. His did not and he had surgery and was fine. Today he is sooooo big and overweight but such a love. I hope someone else can give you more info on the subject because I can just imagine how distraut you must be. I have heard of one but not two. I'm sure it will be ok. Try and stay calm. |

| You have a wonderful vet if he cared enough to call the breeder. My ex-vet wouldn't spit if I didn't pay him. I'm sure your vet will give you a reduced rate and let you do a payment plan. Let us know how things progress. Sandy |

| Beamer is now 17 weeks old and one of his testicals hasn't dropped yet either. The vet wasn't overly concerned yet. She said they SHOULD be down now, but soimetimes they can take as much as 6 months. He will be going in for his last shots next week and we will see if things look better then, If not, then we definitely will get him nuetered. Poor little guy. Sonya

| I am so sorry this happened to you. Thank God for good vets! He is great for calling up the breeder. This sounds like a breeder who needs to be shut down!! I will pray for you! Just continue to love your little guy! yorkiesmiles |

| Years and years ago I had a Sheltie who was cryptic. Meaning his testicles didn't drop. They reccomend surgery (Nueturing) due to rupturing but also due to the fact that there is a higher rate of cancer associated when a dog is cryptic. I hope I'm spelling that right. lol. Anyway, I'm sorry you are going through this but neutering is better for them anyway if you have no intention on breeding. Sometimes dogs are born cryptic even from teh best breeders. Although I will agree that it happens more times then it should when the pup was born in a puppymill. Elaine |

| I had a dog who had to have that surgery when he was neutered and he did great. I think it may have cost me $50 more than the regular neuter and he stayed overnight at the vet but it was all 100% successful and no problem. |

| I'm sorry for what you are going thru. How old is he? Some males take longer for their testicles to descend. I had one that had a testicle that went up and down. I neutered him after giving him time to see if his testicle would stay down and it didn't. Depends on his age. I wish you all the best. |
