My 3-month bunny's testicle hasn't dropped. Should I deworm him?

Rabbit testicles tend to normally be quite big and hang low. This is usually not a problem, so no need to move the appointment up any earlier unless you see an increase in redness or injury to the area. I hope that helps and all is well with River.

Rabbits do usually have pretty long testicles, and testicular cancer is very uncommon in rabbits. I typically don’t neuter them unless they are spraying urine and the owners want it to stop, or if they will be cohabiting with females. It is definitely not wrong to neuter by any means, but the risk of testicular cancer is low. I hope this helps! Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Oso is very cute! By six months of age, both testicles should be descended into the scrotum. If they are not by six months of age, then it is unlikely that the other testicle will fall into place. This testicle has the potential to turn into a specific type of tumor and so you will want to make sure to have him neutered. Hopefully it will come down on its own! Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I am afraid it is unlikely they will descend at this stage. Cryptorchidism in Dogs, or retained testicles is a condition which needs to be surgically treated. The testes normally descend into the scrotum while an animal is very young. For dogs the descent to the final scrotal position is expected to be complete by the time the puppy is two months old. It may occur later in some breeds, but rarely after the age of six months. I would suggest scheduleing an appointment with a different veterinarian to have Beerus examined and to make a treatment plan.

Thank you for your question about Luna, and thank you for the photos - they are very helpful. Luna's testicles are of a normal size for a rabbit. This species has very prominent testicles, and the sparse fur that is present on the surface of the scrotum often makes them look even larger. I cannot appreciate any abnormalities on the surfaces of either testicle with the photos that you have attached either. I hope that answers your question, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

If the testicle is just under the skin on his belly he could have an undescended testicle. In puppies this can sometimes correct with age, but if he is 6 months or older it likely won’t drop anymore. The vet can surgically remove the testicle during a neuter surgery.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You should be able to feel the testicles. If you only feel one then the other testicle is still not descended. They should be both down by birth or by 4 months. It just means the vet will have to search for the retained testicle when he gets neutered. He should be neutered because it is a congenital or genetic disease and the testicle can become cancerous over time. I hope this helps!
