| Cryptorchidism is just a fancy name for undescended testicles ;) The other thing that kind of bothers me, is your vet wants to wait 6 months for your seven and a half month old pup to get bigger. I honestly doubt your puppy is going to get big enough to make much of a difference. The small ones are usually about done growing at that time, at least structurally, so the few ounces he may gain is probably not going to make much of a difference in the surgery site.
You have a couple options- you could wait and have your vet try again, you could get a second opinion, or you be referred to a clinic that is confident in working on tiny dogs.
I don't know if there is more to it than what you posted (as far as your vet's concerns) but it really sounds like he wasn't comfortable and didn't want to risk your pup's life, which is commendable. However, if that was the case, I wish he would have sent you somewhere else. |
