I have a 7 month old pup with a retained testicle at what age should I have it removed or is there other option ? Or will it still drop at some stage? Cheers

I'd take him to Peter Yore if your around Newcastle or a proper greyhound vet otherwise.
If they are strangling in the inguinal canal it can be painful and put em off galloping flat out. Also cancer. It may well drop but if hes got one big one down now chances are it wont.

thanks Jim, I can see where it is, so do you think a vet can get it down without have to remove it?
