My dog has one undescended testicle. Can I remove just it?

Question

I have a male cane corso, he’s 3. He has one of the two testicle stuck inside. Is it a good idea to take out the one on the inside and let him keep the one that’s already outside? We don’t want to spay him. Thoughts?

Hi there. If you don't want to neuter him, then yes - I would recommend having the abdominal testicle removed, and leaving the other one alone. The abdominal testicle needs to be removed because it will likely develop into a testicular tumor later on in life if it's not taken out.
