If you have had Czar since he was a puppy and know that he was not neutered, then he is considered cryptorchid. This is a concern because testicles that are in the abdomen (not in the scrotum like they are supposed to be) are prone to becoming cancerous. I would recommend scheduling an appointment with your vet to discuss neutering him before he develops any problems. I have included more information on cryptorchidism below. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2743 I hope that was helpful! Thanks for using PetCoach.
