I have a 2 years old male yellow labrador. His tasticles are black and big not swollen but his scrotum hangs a bit lower so it looks big. I dont have a vet near me, so is it normal?

The picture does not show anything concerning but I would continue to monitor for any sweliing or discomfort which may indicate a painful infection or assymetry which can indicate a tumour. Rapid increase in size can occur with scrotal hernias which although rare are a surgical emergency.
