My dog has a tumor on one of his testicules. Can they only remove the damaged testicle and leave the other healthy testicle so he can breed??

Hi there. A dog with one testicle may still produce enough sperm to be fertile, so it may be possible to breed. However, I would recommend consulting with your veterinarian first about this, as certain types of tumors are genetic and breeding may not be recommended depending on what King's specific diagnosis was.
