My german spitz

Question
My six month old male spitz mix seems to have enlarged testicles. I am not sure how big they should be and want to know if I should be concerned. He seems quite playful and content, but at times seems to loes his spunk and just lay around. I feel kind of dumb for asking but wondered if this should be checked by a vet.

Answer
Hi Kelly,
Please do not feel dumb asking questions.  You have every right to be concerned. Swollen and/or enlarged testicles could be the sign of tumors or other problems.  I think you should take him to a Vet especially since you say he is just laying around. It may not be tumors, but is best to find out early so that he can be treated.

God Bless,
Becky
