One testicle looks odd I am really clueless about this subject because all the male dogs I have had were rescues and were already neutered when I got them. After Tobie got groomed today and the hair was trimmed around that area, I noticed that one of his testicles looks a bit red and bigger than the other. Also, when you feel it, it feels like there is another small bump behind the testicle. What could this be? I plan on having him neutered as soon as we receive some money we are waiting for but until then should I take him in to have it checked out? He was just in for his parvo booster and the vet looked him over and said he was in great health. She said his heart and lungs sounded very good but is this something they would have checked? (I wasn't there, my husband took him that time). Has anyone else seen this or know what it could be? |
Could it possibly be a hernia?? |
I just looked up dog hernia symptoms and I don't think that's what it is because he doesn't seem to have any pain. I put some pressure on them and around his abdomen and he didn't even flinch. Now that I look at it again, the one that is red is the normal looking one (size and shape). It kinda looks like it was irritated from grooming like razor burn or something. The other one still looks bigger (swollen maybe) and feels weird. Is it possible for it just to be bigger and oddly shaped? Like an oval instead of a circle? I told you, I am so clueless about this. Would it be weird to take a picture to show everyone what I am talking about? lol |
Male testicles are not round but more oval. Almost cat eye shaped if that makes sense? |
Okay, I uploaded a picture but I am just going to post a link so before you click just know that it is a picture of Tobie's testicles. lol. I hope Tobie isn't too embarrassed but it's for medical reasons. lol. For anyone who doesn't mind looking... any thoughts? http://members.cox.net/christie81/document.jpg ::warning picture of Tobie's package, well part of it anyway:: lol |
Emmett has those little bumps on both of his testicles. The vet said that they are normal. I don't know about the redness though, it does look like his little stuff was irritated some how... or maybe a vein burst? I've heard of that happening. If it stains purple thats probably what happened. And the one that is bigger may just be growing faster than the other. |
Okay that makes me feel better. I'm not too worried because, like I said, it doesn't seem to hurt and he's going to be neutered before too long. Also, the redness has gotten better today. Thanks for the reply :) |
