I have an 8-month-old, 7 lbs Chihuahua named Frodo with one descended testicle and one undescended testicle in his abdomen. We wanted to breed him, but are unsure if it's possible or if we should neuter him. Additionally, he has persistent puppy teeth, particularly his fangs, which haven't fallen out and are causing bad breath. What should we do about these issues, and what is the cost involved?

My dog Sydney, a 2-year-old German Shepherd, hasn't eaten her regular dog food since Saturday but will eat dog treats. She had diarrhea on Saturday but has been fine since then, acting normal and active. What could be causing her lack of appetite for regular food, and should I take her to the vet?
