MONORCHIDISM IN A MONGREL DOG - A CASE REPORT

Abstract

The descent of testes into the scrotal sac is complete at birth in farm animals. In dogs the testis becomes scrotal in the first week of life (Arthur, 1975), but in some it may not descend till near puberty (Ashdown, 1963). Retained testes are liable to undergo maliganat changes (Anderson, 1985; Arthur 1975; McEntee et al. 1969; Robbins et al., 1989; Walter, 1987)
