Any dog that is not part of a well planned breeding program and/or showing
should be spayed/neutered for many reasons . Mostly, the health reasons.
Spaying/neutering greatly decreases risk of cancer. And when you have
undescended testicles, there is an even higher than normal risk of cancer and
other health problems.

Subject: [Chihuahuas] undescended testicle surgery
My chi friend, Pepe' is having surgery on Thursday. He has an undescended
tesitcle and is having it (and the other one) removed. I know it is the right
thing to do, but I am nervous for him. I work in the medical field with humans
and I know all the things that can go wrong.
I trust the surgeon with my friend Pepe', but I am still nervous. He is
only two years old and at last weighing he is 4lbs 9 oz. It is hard to believe
that one so young and small could go through intubation and having his abdomen
cut open. Please pray for him. And pray that I do not communicate my silly
fears to him. He is so perceptive, it will be VERY difficult to keep anything
from him.
Thank you.
Theresa
