Lump on testicle.
Jed has just got up this evening and straight away we noticed a large lump on one of his testes. So worried.
Obviously I shall take him to the vets on Monday. I don't want to fear the worst x

Re: Lump on testicle.
Is he very warm there? Can he retract the protruding part? Can you feel if it is hot or is it red.
The testicles are quite mobile and they can protrude like a peanut under the skin like that. Try taking him to a cooler room and see if it goes back up.

Re: Lump on testicle.
as soon as hes properly awake( hes been lazy tonight) we will bring him in here to cool off.
I am hoping that is all it is. Thank you Souffle x

Re: Lump on testicle.
I had a similar scare with Charlie Their boy bits can look like that when they get warm and relaxed, and sort of pop out. Charlie's looked like a big pink abscess. Do they look anything like this? If so it's their porta cushions getting bigger

Re: Lump on testicle.
You're welcome - it's a bit of a shock the first time you see it isn't it?! It doesn't happen all the time but if he gets cosy in a blanket or in his donut bed they often pop out

Re: Lump on testicle.
The first time I saw it happen to fudge I thought there was something wrong as I never remembered the actual testicles coming out of their "pouches" so to speak :/ I was thankful to learn that it is fairly normal! Keep an eye on him to make sure that the lump you noticed subsides. All should be ok
