When should my puppy's testicles be felt? What if only one drops?

Question

Hi. I have adopted a beagle 35 days old.. my vet had observed its testicles by hand and came to conclusion that he has only 1 testicle. I want to know in how many days the testicles can be observed by hand and in how many days the testicles will be seen and come to c9nclusive evidence if he has one testicle or 2. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 4 days old

By 6 weeks of age, both testicles should be in the scrotum for a normal dog and should be able to be felt by hand. There are a number of cases of the testicle coming in later than that, but that is considered abnormal. In general, if both testicles are not in the scrotum by 6 months of age, we will recommend neutering the dog and will have to surgically remove the other testicle from the abdomen to prevent future problems. I am attaching a handout with more information for you below. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952745 I hope that was helpful and answered your question.
