Question
Hi, my name is Stuart and i have a 7 month old boxer...Ive been hearing alot about testicular cancer....was just wondering is there any visual effects that i would be able to notice if he did?
Hi Stuart. It's my understanding that when a dog has testicular cancer the testicals will actually shrink, or atrophy. You may also notice one a lot bigger than the other. Those are the only visual effects that I'm aware of. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

I took a two semester course to become a vet assistant. I didn't go further in it because I had a child.
