The testis of my dog is growing abnormally.What disease could it be, is something like hydrosil is possible in dogs, what is the main reason behind this problem in case of dogs.Is nutrition responsible for it in any way.We feed him normally as suggested by professionals.We also dont let him go out side to get mixed up with street dogs.

Re: Dog's testis problem

Hydrocele in dogs is rare, but does occur. Here are two pages which briefly describe the condition in dogs:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~rootk001/case_19.htm
and
http://www.petcaregt.com/dogcare/dogtesticles.html

Hydrocele sometimes goes away by itself within a few weeks, but sometimes it requires medical intervention (e.g. aspiration). In rare cases, it can be hiding other medical problems, too.

But of course, you don't know whether it is a case of hydrocele without a professional opinion. I recommend you to take him to a vet to be examined as soon as possible.

On a different topic, please note that I have had to remove the link in your signature to a non-related commercial site. As you may not be aware of forum rules, this is just a friendly caution. Please do not do this again.

Re: Dog's testis problem

When I see dogs with abnormally sized balls, it often ended up being cancer. We have even had dogs with cryptorchidism with very swollen lower abdomens due to testicular cancer. I would say a trip to the vet is in order; it's better to catch whatever it is early and nip it now.

At this point you need to have him checked by a vet, the symptom you have mentioned could mean alot of things. Orchitis also exhibit similar symptoms, or it could be a tumor. The vet has to establish whats ailing your dog ASAP.
