Once located, traditionally we would have to make a large incision and open up their abdomen to remove these, alternatively, some practices will try to remove them by making a small incision and using a hook to snare the testicle and pull it out.
However, this can be associated with severe complications if the wrong organ is blindly hooked and it is well documented that other structures like the ureters have been inadvertently damaged in the process.
This is where we are really excited to step forward and do these surgeries because we are the only general practice in San Diego performing this surgery Laparoscopically. We make 2 tiny incisions and go in to the abdomen with a camera which magnifies all of the internal structures making it easy to identify and remove the hidden testicle.
Just like in humans, laparoscopy is a less painful way to have surgery done and these pups are back to their old antics in no time.
Not to mention that this is also associated with lower complications which helps all of us to sleep better. I live in Toronto, Canada and would like to know what is the cost for a laparoscopic surgery? If you are looking to take a San Diego vacation, we would be happy to help!

Do you think they could still come down? He is just 6 months. Vet says no? Hi, my chihuahua boy dropped his when he was 14mnths old after vet said no, dont know if it really did the trick or natural but i used boy special for a month at 12 mnths old and a couple of mnths later down it came and is now the same size as twin. What is boy special??
I have a 4 month old st Bernard mastiff mix and he only has one dropped. I have a 17 week 43 lb Rottweiler Male. Pure bred, no history of Cryptorchidism in Dame or sire. My guy only has dropped 1 testicle. My vet said if the other testicle doesnt drop by 6 months. I really hope it comes down.

Feb 26, This twisting can reduce or cut off the blood supply to the testicle, causing it to atrophy or die. Torsion can cause acute and severe pain when it occurs. It is often a simple thing to see if a male dog has two testicles.
Both scrotal sacs will be filled with a single, firm, oval-shaped testicle. To confirm that the dog has two descended testicles, gently grasp the scrotum between the thumb and forefinger while the dog is standing or lying on his back. Both testicles should be distinct and easy to distinguish from each other. If the dog has one or both retained testicles, it is possible to locate the testicle s by placing him on his back and gently pressing your fingers along the center line of his abdomen.
