Why haven't my 8-month-old male dog's testicles dropped yet?

Question

Hi, I have a male Choco-Tan Chihuahua, he is already 8 months, but still his balls doesn't drop, even atleat 1 ball is no appearance. Is there any chance that his ball will still drop, or is there any other solution for this problem? I already consulted a local Vet, but she only laugh at my Chi not having any balls, and she even billed me 350Php for a dumb consultation.

I am afraid it is unlikely they will descend at this stage. Cryptorchidism in Dogs, or retained testicles is a condition which needs to be surgically treated. The testes normally descend into the scrotum while an animal is very young. For dogs the descent to the final scrotal position is expected to be complete by the time the puppy is two months old. It may occur later in some breeds, but rarely after the age of six months. I would suggest scheduleing an appointment with a different veterinarian to have Beerus examined and to make a treatment plan.
