I'm a bit worried!

[primabella]

First of all, thank you everyone who send good thoughts towards Mickey and his operation.

This morning we brought him in. He was calm up until the doctor put him up on the table to check him out. Then he started freaking out and got started jumping around. He had never acted that way before.

Anyway, the doctor weight Mickey (22lbs) and then set him up on the table to examine him.
Then he went to check out his testicles. He said he only found one and that the other may be in his stomach. If he doesn't remove it, it could become cancerous. But he told us he might just not be able to find it. I'm a little worried. What if they don't completly remove it? I'm a worry-wort so I'm thinking up anything that could happen. What if he developps cancer later on anyways.
Did anyone elses' dog have this problem? I'm so worried
ps~we can pick him up at 5pm

Both Oz and Murph had testicles that didn't drop. My vet couldn't
really find them, when he was just feeling for them either, but
never said it would be a problem finding them, once he started
operating. And he did find them on both dogs. Murph is close to
13 and he hasn't developed any cancer *knock wood*. So try
not to worry too much about Mickey. It's more than likely gonna
be okay.

Prima,
I am no doggie expert, but, I think non disended testicles are pretty dern common. So, freak not, little freak. As to Mick'ster going crazy at the vets...not uncommon. He might have been picking up on your anxiety. So, ten deep breaths, use the time to make Mickey's special area all fresh and clean, and your pupster will be home before you know it!!
Hugs,
Johanna

Thanks Johanna.

Yes, Mickey must have sensed something was going to happen. They gave him the tranquilizer after and he started getting sleepy. lol

My mom just called and they said all went well. He got stitches and the cost was a bit more so that means his testicle was in his stomach. My dog's always gotta be the different one

My mom alos cleaned both his beds so he can have a nice, clean place to sleep when he gets back. I can't wait. I've been missing him all day!

*whips out her handy dandy Animal Care Specialist book*

Cryptorchidism is a condition in which one or both testicles have nat descended into the scrotum, the sac containing the testicles. Procedure to retrieve the testicle(s) is simple, with high success rate.

See i knew I was good for something.

I think everything will be OK. Don't freak out just yet! It will be OK!

[lovemyshiba]

Sounds to me like everything went OK!! Pretty soon the Mickster will be home with you, where he belongs!!!
Let us know how he's doing!!
{{{hugs}}} to Mickey

Thanks everyone

We went to get Mickey and he's in his cage just laying down, looking miserable. He threw up on himself at the vets and stank. He was good enough to let me wipe off what I could though.

We have to return in about 15 days to get the stitches removed. He's been very quiet and slow in motion. I know he wants to play but then he just sits back down. Poor baby We got a nice banadana from the vets though. I think it'll go with his coat very well

So thank you all for the good thoughts. The operation was successful !

I couldn't find kai's second one for a while...but about 2 months ago, I noticed both were there when i was coming him. He's just a late bloomer..I'm glad everything went well with Mickey =]

Awwwww, Mickster, you've had a big day, sweetie. But with all of those sweet smelling, freshly cleaned beds, a new bandana and all that love being heaped on ya, I think you're going to do just fine! The anesthesia and the after-effects are the worst part of the ordeal, but by tomorrow, you should be feeling tons better! Undescended testicles are very common, in dogs and humans! As others have said, "not to worry!" Hugs and kisses to you precious one from Sandra, Cody and Star

[RubyMutt]

I'm so glad to hear that everything turned out okay! I hope Mickey feels like his old self again very soon!

So glad to hear that Mickey's surgery went well! How worried you must have been! Since Sadie is a female, we didn't have that problem! Get well soon, sweet Mickey!
