Title: At what age does this happen? Advice please.
Post by: ludo on March 08, 2008, 09:29:25 PM
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:)

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:
