Answer
HI KELLY
IT IS BEST TO HAVE HIM NEUTERED, IT WILL COST A LITTLE MORE THAN AVERAGE TO GO UP AFTER THE OTHER ONE, BUT BETTER FOR THE LITTLE FELLOW.
THIS IS A GENETIC PROBLEM MOST OF THE TIME, ONE PARENT IS PRODUCING THIS GENE, AND MORE SO OTHERS ARE MAYBE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MALES FROM THE BREEDER.
IT CAN HAPPEN ALSO FROM COLD HANDS PLACED THERE.  BOTH COULD OF BEEN DOWN WHEN VETTED AT SIX WEEKS, THEN SOMETIME THEY GOT CHILLED AND ONE GOES UP.
JUST GET HIM NEUTERED AS U WOULD NOT NOR SHOULD USE TO BREED.
