Pup 1/2 neutered

Well, I brought the ol' boy home today. He had an undescended nut. It was partially descended for a while, so I didn't worry about it but later it was fully nested in his belly. That raises the incidence of cancer. So had the one removed and left the other alone.

Also, it may have been part of a longer term problem he's had since puberty. The chord to the nut was short and quite thick / scar-like. Free-floating to a degree, and may have caused some intermittent pain. I'm hoping that was the cause of the behavior I've been trying to solve since March.

Had hips, long bones spine and tail all x-ray'd. Great hips, no panos, no real issues with spine other than a slight narrowing of L4-5 area. I have concluded that's not part of the issue.

Also had a scope 6" up rectum, and he was fine.

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this was the problem all along.
