Zelahi Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 We bought Charlie from a shelter at 8 weeks old and they told us he was desexed at 6 weeks old well rubbing his belly today i felt a ball like lumps (which felt a bit smaller then two marbles) at the end of his penis under the skin and now i am really worried he may not be desex. I tried feeling for them a bit later while he was on all fours but it felt less noticable. He has his ear tattoed and everything but im starting to wonder. If they were testicles would they have already dropped by now. Charlies age is in my signiture. Would the vet be able to tell if he is desexed of not at his age?

Guest Clover Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Young Charlie was probably just a little 'excited' by his tummy rub.. it is normal even in desexed boys :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really young :p i have discussed it before on here. its not only when gets his tummy rubbed i went over to have another feel why he was in the sit position and i could feel them again.. poor little man probably feels pretty molested at the moment with all the touching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janba Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 What you are feeling is probably the bulbus glandis at the base of the penis not the testis. This is what helps lock a dogs penis into the bitch when they tie during mating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
