Often the undescended testicle is in the inguinal canal and sometimes just needs a gentle nudge by the vet once he gets in there to drop or remove, your vet is probably hoping it will drop down on it’s own.
Sometimes it does by 9 months. Some vets like to wait till the dog is fully developed before neutering, if possible. Better for bone development.
If the undescended testicle is imbedded in the abdomen, the surgery is a little harder if they have to hunt for it and it will be a longer recovery.

My dogs do well on Zignature kibble as a base, I add something like a bit of cooked egg plus water to it.
So far we have tried the whitefish and the catfish.
PS: Sometimes the vet will manually try to manipulate the undescended testicle to drop, it depends on how high up it is.
