Meet Lumos, our oddball for the week - no pun intended!!
This beautiful boy presented for a rountine castration, but during our pre-surgery examination we noted that he only had one testicle. Cryptorchids, as these patients are commonly referred to, are cats where one or both te**es fail to descend into the sc***um and become retained in the abdomen or inguinal canal. Lumos' retained testicle was hidden in his abdomen. As can be seen from the images the retained teste is often much smaller in size and poorly developed.
Lumos was none the wiser following his procedure and up to his usual antics at home!
