My 6-week-old puppy has one testicle larger. Should I worry?

Question

6week old puppy has one testicle a lot larger than the other is this dangerous. Should I sadly reject this puppy? Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Male | 1 month and 17 days old

That's hard to say without being able to examine and monitor the testicles. It's possible this is congenital. If Digby is not a breeding dog, an undeveloped testicle is not a big concern (though I do recommend to have him neutered). A less common cause of a size difference is a torsion or infection. A veterinarian can get an idea of what is happening with an exam. I hope this helps.
