How are testicles removed from a neutered dog?
Neutering can cut the risk of certain diseases, unwanted behaviors, and conflicts with other dogs. The surgery is even simpler than a spay. A veterinarian puts the dog under anesthesia, makes an incision in front of the scrotum, cuts the stalks of the testicles, and then removes the testicles through the incision.
