- Swelling could be due to trauma or another issue.
- Look for signs of pain, bruising, or changes in behavior.

If your dog's testicles appear swollen and it concerns you, it may be due to bruising or an underlying issue, such as infection or torsion, especially following a fall. Monitor your dog's behavior and physical condition, and if you notice any signs of discomfort, limping, or changes in behavior, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. Swelling can be painful and may require professional attention to address the underlying cause effectively.
