A licensed veterinarian’s answer

Hello, sorry to see your dog has a growth. I would just make your veterinarian aware of the growth before his neuter. Many testicular growths are cured with neutering. Body wide diagnostics can be performed at you and your veterinarian's discretion if there is concern for a malignant growth.

PawsRx pays this veterinarian for the time they spend answering questions. The answer is their own; PawsRx does not review or approve clinical content.
