How can I tell if my puppy's undescended testicle has dropped?

Question

My vet told me my puppy's one testicle had not come down in December. How can I tell if has now come down? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 months and 24 days old | 10 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You should be able to feel the testicles. If you only feel one then the other testicle is still not descended. They should be both down by birth or by 4 months. It just means the vet will have to search for the retained testicle when he gets neutered. He should be neutered because it is a congenital or genetic disease and the testicle can become cancerous over time. I hope this helps!
