Can you detect only one testicle on your male kitten? 🐾
Cryptorchidism, a rare condition in cats, can pose serious health risks if left unchecked! It is the failure of one or both testicles to descend into the scrotum. In these rare cases, the retained testicle(s) is stuck in the abdomen or inguinal canal, or even in the ground region.
Detecting it early is crucial to prevent potential issues like cancer and the dangerous complication of spermatic cord torsion (twisting onto itself)!
Just this month, we encountered two young Scottish Straight cats affected by cryptorchidism, necessitating surgery at only 8 months old. Stay proactive and ensure your pet receives the care they need to thrive!🐾🫶🏽
