retained testicle

Post by machog » Fri Apr 15, 2016 6:54 pm

I have a nice boar pig 2 months old. When I castrated could only get one testicle. Now the second is showing low beneath his legs. Vet wants $350 to take it out / deal breaker. Can I go get it or am I going to be having a BBQ if I try?

If you can find it you can remove it as normal.many times they show up later which is what it sounds like for you. Other times they never show and the surgery is much more complex.

I was able to work the testicle back up to the scrotum and successfully removed the retained testicle.

Thanks for the input.
