Can't think of a better subject titled for this one :005: At what age do boy puppies testicles descend? ::) What other physical effects do people notice around this time? :shades:
-
Ideally, boy pups should have both testicles descended by 8-9 weeks but it's not uncommon for it to take longer for one or both to descend. Some dogs can be well over 6 months old before this happens although the longer it takes, the less likely it is that the missing one will come down.
-
my vet said he had two when he was examined at 9 weeks. Does that mean they have descended? its hard to tell because they are so tiny
-
Yes, if your vet says they're there, then they are descended. Nothing else will happen except they will get bigger with age (as everything does :005:)
-
that's a relief :005:
-
Otters were there at his second Jabs so he'd be around 12 weeks, the vet was fumbling saying, "Ah there's one, now where is the other" I was panicking :005: but it was there :005:
