Canine cryptorchidism is a congenital defect that results from sex-limited autosomal recessive gene(s). Incidence is higher in some breeds, especially in smaller and inbred ones. Parents of affected puppies are carriers. Unilateral cryptorchid dogs can be fertile, and affected individuals and their siblings should be eliminated from a breeding program to decrease incidence of the defect. Androgen and gonadotropin treatments have been tried with little or no success. Bilateral orchidectomy is the treatment of choice because of the common sequelae of testicular neoplasia and torsion.
犬隐睾症是一种由性连锁常染色体隐性基因导致的先天性缺陷。某些品种的发病率较高，尤其是小型和近亲繁殖的品种。患病幼犬的父母是携带者。单侧隐睾的犬可能具有生育能力，应将患病个体及其同胞从繁殖计划中剔除，以降低该缺陷的发生率。雄激素和促性腺激素治疗曾尝试过，但收效甚微或毫无成效。由于睾丸肿瘤和扭转的常见后遗症，双侧睾丸切除术是首选的治疗方法。
