On 12th July 2024, TR, a 2-year-old Male entire Maltipoo, 3.76kg, 38.5 deg C was neutered.

 

 

 

 

His physical examination showed no abnormalities discovered except for the unilateral left cryptochidism. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Anaesthetic used were ketamine, medetomedine and isoflurane gas. Two testicles were removed at Toa Payoh Vets.

 

TR  recovered from anesthesia and went home, with medication. He did not need to return for stitch removal as the stitches were absorbed. 

( Ask owner for a video of the dog 14 days after neuter). 1-minute

Cryptorchidism means one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum.  

 

If both testicles are retained in the abdomen or under the skin, the dog will be infertile. Cryptorchidism can happen in one or both testicles.

Neuter is advised for health reasons, as retained testicles may be cancerous or twisted (testicular torsion) when the dog grows older. 

 

An older dog has a higher risk of anaesthetic death as he may not be healthy. It is best to neuter him at less than one year of age when he is healthy.
