How much does it cost to geld a horse that is crypt orchid?
The cost to geld a cryptorchid horse can range from $500 to $2,000 or more, depending on various factors such as the veterinarian's fees, the complexity of the procedure, and the geographical location.

Additional costs may include pre-surgery examinations, anesthesia, and post-operative care. Always consult with a veterinarian for a precise estimate tailored to your specific situation.
What is a horse with one testicle called?
There are several terms. The medical term would be cryptorchid, although this implies that the testicle was left accidentally and a competent vet should have found both testicles and removed them. If the testicle was deliberately left during castration (which is a potential breach of veterinary medical ethics if the horse is sold as a gelding but is actually still a stallion) then the stallion would be called 'proud cut' or a 'ringling'. This was somewhat common in circus horses, where one testicle was removed to improve the horse's temperment and make him easier to control but the other was left so that the horse would look like a stallion (develop the thicker neck, heavy muscling, etc.).

Why does your 2yr old cult horse only show 1 testicle?
A Cryptorchid is a male horse who has at least one testicle that was retained in the abdomen. Normally a colt's testicles will descend or "drop" at about 1 year, and a ring (Inguinal ring) closes above it to keep it in the scrotum. Sometimes the ring closes and leaves the testicle in the abdomen instead of the scrotum.
Male bovine with one testicle is a?
A male bovine with one testicle is referred to as a "cryptorchid." This condition occurs when one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. Cryptorchids may have reduced fertility and can be more prone to certain health issues, but they can still exhibit typical male behaviors. In some cases, surgical intervention may be recommended to prevent complications.
What type of hernia commonly accompanies cryptorchidism?
The type of hernia that commonly accompanies cryptorchidism is an inguinal hernia. This occurs because both conditions are related to the developmental processes in the groin area during fetal growth. Inguinal hernias are more prevalent in males and can occur when abdominal contents protrude through the inguinal canal, which may also be involved in the descent of the testes. The presence of a cryptorchid testis can increase the risk of an inguinal hernia due to the incomplete descent of the testis into the scrotum.
Will a cryptorchid dog produce viable sperm?
This will depend upon the exact state of the testicles. If both testicles are retained within the body wall, the dog will be infertile and produce no viable sperm. If only one testicle is retained within the body wall and the other has descended into the scrotum, the dog will produce viable sperm but likely have a low sperm count. If only one testicle is retained but it is outside the body wall although not in the scrotum, the dog will produce viable sperm and may have a normal sperm count. However, cryptorchidism (retained testicles) is a highly inherited condition, and it is likely that the dog would pass this defect on to his offspring. For this reason, most veterinarians and responsible breeders will advocate for the dog to be castrated and removed from the breeding pool.
Where are a male horses testicles located?
That depends on the breed of the horse, and on the individual colt. Many breeds drop by 18 months. If asking about gelding, that can be done at any time (it is occasionally done at the age of two days), but is typically done when a colt is between one and two. Consult your veterinarian about your individual circumstance.
What are the different genders of mustangs?
