I performed my first cryptorchid (testicle(s) not in the scrotum) surgery on a kitten today! I'd done one before on a dog but:
a. Dog testicles are WAY bigger than kitten testicles
b. The dog at least had one testicle where it should be so I only had to locate the other one (the kitten did not have either testicle in the scrotum)
Fortunately I have an awesome mentor at the shelter who talked me through an approach that worked like a charm!
All in all I performed 7 surgeries in 2 1/2 hours. That's not impressive if you're a shelter vet, but for me it's pretty darned good.
