I have a very strange question. Wes was neutered when he was about 8 months old. I always thought that they removed his testicles during that procedure. But sometimes he has these little lumps that appear and I just don't know what they are. I've heard of vets putting some sort of synthetic balls in there, but I thought they only did that if it was requested. I never requested that...would they put them in anyway?

I'm including a picture so perhaps someone will be able to help me.

Oops, I put this in the wrong section. I was going to put it in the Health & Diet section.

That is not his testies. It's called Bulbus Glandis. It enlarges and is held inside the female to "tie" them.

I don't know why this happens even after they are neutered. Maybe they still have an urge to be randy?

Thank you for posting. I've never heard of that before. Like I said earlier, it isn't always there, it just pops up at random times. I knew someone on here would know. Thanks again.

Glad to be of assistance!

Is it weird that I have this knowledge?

Actually I cheated. I have a book called "Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook" I believe it's a must have book. It's full of information on various illnesses, diseases, first aid and much much more. Everytime one of my girls has a weird symptom I grab the book. It's full of book marks and has help me figure out what can wait and what needs immediate attention.

If you don't have one get one.

That sounds like a great book to have on hand. I should definately get a copy, especially since I tend to freak out and rush my two to the vet every time anything is out of the ordinary.

Huh I never knew there was an official name for it. I've noticed it in my dogs before and always thought it was because they really really had to potty. Always seemed to go away after going pp.

Same here. Bailey and Tucker have those little knots at the base of their winkie sometimes in the morning before they have gone pee. Once they pee, the little knots go away. I've never really thought much about it before now.

That isn't too uncommon. It is called bilateral cryptorchidism. Because his risk for developing tumors is higher, it is probably safest for hiim to be neutered. The only difference between this and a regular neuter is that the vet will most likely need to go into the abdomen. It is just closer to a spay. Everything should be fine but the correct anesthetic protocol should be followed. He should not be bred with this issue.

Depending on your vet's opinion, you may be able to wait a bit longer to see if they drop.
