Cryptorchid Neuters in London, ON
Understanding the Health Risks of Cryptorchidism
Cryptorchidism — when one or both testicles fail to descend — is more than a reproductive concern. It can increase your pet’s risk for serious health issues, including cancer.
Has Your Male Pet Not Been Fully Neutered?
At Neighbourhood Pet Clinic, we perform expert cryptorchid surgery for pets in London, ON, to safely remove retained testicles and ensure a full, healthy recovery.
If you’re looking for a male dog neuter specialist or your vet has recommended a surgical follow-up, our experienced team is here to help.
What Is a Cryptorchid Neuter?
A retained testicle neuter in dogs (or cats) is more complex than a standard neuter, as it may require abdominal or inguinal surgery depending on where the testicle is located.
Our team uses advanced imaging and careful surgical planning to ensure that the procedure is as safe and minimally invasive as possible.
Signs your pet may be cryptorchid include:
- One or both testicles are not visible in the scrotum
- Hormonal behaviours even after neutering
- Increased risk of testicular torsion or tumours
Why It’s Important to Address
This type of pet reproductive surgery in London is about more than sterilization. Retained testicles can become cancerous if left untreated. Cryptorchid surgery also:
- Eliminates reproductive risk
- Reduces behavioural issues
- Promotes long-term health
- Prevents costly emergencies later
We recommend early surgical correction once your pet is old enough for anesthesia.
