Solo's testicle..

Thanks everyone.

If you picked off a scab, that means there was a skin wound there before.

It was one big dead layer of skin that covered the entire testicle -- so I don't know how he would have a wound like that unless it was a huge burn that only covered his testicle. I don't neuter my dogs until they are physically mature, it is very unlikely he would develop cancer before neutering him at 1.5 years.

The skin I picked off lastnight came back again so I did the same thing -- peeled it all off and applied the ge. It's very red and sore underneath, he was not very happy with me. It is better than it was lastnight though. I made an appointment for Monday but I'm hoping it will be cleared up by then. It's only his testicle, nowhere else. Funny thing is, when I went to check it today -- I SWEAR I felt two testicles. I feel every day just to make sure and never before (since he sucked his other one up) have I thought I felt two...I wonder if maybe his other one dropped and he was nervous and sucked it up. Maybe this isn't a huge coincedence and has something to do with his other one dropping. The smell is gone anyways since I peeled the scab off, THANK GOD.

How old is Solo? his testicles may have not dropped properly and they could be in his abdomen but you should neuter him right away if that's the case because he cannot be bred if you were planning on breeding him.

He is 9 months old and I don't plan on breeding him, I would never breed a dog with only one testicle and I don't like his sire's lines anyways. One testicle dropped fine, the other is in his abdomen. He won't be neutered until he is phyiscally mature at 1-1.5 years.
