Balls

[vraic]

A couple of days ago I've went to the vet to get my dog’s claws clipped. The dog, Sam is about fifteen and doesn’t go walking like he used to, so his nails can get overgrown. In the course of the pedicure, the vet passed comment that Sam has only one testicle. Remarkably, no-one had spotted this before, including me

i don't understand why the vet has to give the dog treatment for the one ball if it wasn't a problem before.. Did it suddenly start swelling?

The vet thought it was starting to swell - aparently this can be a problem in un-castrated old male dogs. We probably hadn't noticed because it was happening so slowly. I have to say we don't get top marks for being observant; we'd never noticed his lack so to speak!
