Well, just picked up the cheese boys, Cheddar and Colby, from the vet after their neuter. Colby has a cryptorchid the vet couldn't get out. She said it was stuck in his pelvic tunic. She removed his sperm canal, but obviously he may still spray and be aggressive due to continued testosterone. Does anyone know how likely it is the testicle will eventually drop? I asked if this will cause any blockage problems in the future and the vet said no. I did a search and found a few threads about going back in and getting it, but the vet said she tried tugging every which way and couldn't get it. Any thoughts on whether or not it would be worth pursuing, or if we should just leave it alone and hope he doesn't start spraying all over the place, or how frequently these drop on their own? Thanks!
Stef

Thanks! I'm going to ask my regular vet on Monday, this wasn't our normal one. But since this litter was rescue, I talked them into giving us a very substantial discount on getting them all fixed.

Thank you for that article! Now the question is, how to get the little sucker out of there. Hmm. Hopefully my regular vet will have some answers.
