My dog has a testicular tumor. Are X-rays and ultrasound needed to check for spread?

Hello, sorry to hear about Weiser. Yes it would be recommmended for if he is noted to have metastasis, this May limit how successful surgery would be or if surgery is even an option at that point and thus would change the overall plan for Weiser. I would recommend having these diagnostics prior to deciding to pursue surgery. Hope this helps and best of luck.
