Poor Austin. My concern would be possible allergies. Allergies can cause skin infection which can lead to testicle and ear infections. However I would recommend contacting the boarding facility so they are aware of these troubles. Just incase they have insight on the cause. Some dogs can get testicle infections from aggressive play or breeding too. Thanks for using pet coach
