    An undescended testicle can become cancerous. I would speak to your vet about having it removed.

    I would urge you to make an appointment with your vet. Undescended testicles are at increased risk of becoming cancerous. This is definitely something that needs attending to.

    depends where it is as to the op required. 3 possibilities of difficulty and cost.
    My dog had inguinal which is the mid level op.
    recovered in 2 weeks.
    big debate about whether to castrate a dog or not but undescended testicles swing the argument very much in favour of castration.
