| Be careful when spaying Hi! I don't know for sure but have heard stories of dogs being spayed and having other things corrected when they get spayed. From my understanding when you spay tis should be the only procedure to be done at the moments because it puts much stress on the anmals body. Also if you spay and have another procedure done your loved ones body has double the trauma and its systems may start to malfunction because they can't focus on one specific thing to repair. Just thought I'd let you know. Like I said I've herd stories of loosing precious one in this way but have not done this my self. Feel free to let me know if I am wrong. |

| The only thing usually done when a puppy is spayed is remove any extra baby teeth that did not fall out. I agree with you, I think it would be dangerous to fix something else while spaying ..... like, for example, a broken bone or something? I'm not a breeder or experience in things like that so I don't have any expert advice but it just seems logical (to me) to fix 1 thing at a time so that you give the body (of these already tiny munchkins) to heal properly.

| Thanx for your post. The info is not altogether accurate, however. Having the dog or puppy put under anesthesia several times can be more dangerous than taking the few extra minutes to do, say a dental or minor hernia, while your dog is already under. While going under anesthesia a dog can indeed have problems and if the vet has a trained tech who does the monitoring and the level of anesthesia, the procedures can indeed be done very safely. If you have questions remember to always ask your vet before you commit to the procedures. Some vets are not well-trained in TOY breeds and that is when major complications occur. Our responsibility as pet owners is to research every aspect of their health care. Sounds as if you are already doing that and I am glad. BTW-Welcome |

| My daughter's dog, Buddha recently went in for neutering and we had hoped to have his baby teeth pulled at the same time, however, after we dropped him off we received a call from the vet after he did the pre surgery exam and he informed us that he felt it would be best to refer him to a dental specialist to have the retained baby teeth pulled because there were so many and they were already affecting the alignment of the adult teeth. I wondered at the time if they just were busy and didn't want to take the extra time needed to do this and so I advised the vet of my concern about a second need for anesthesia and he said the neuter would only take a few minutes but the teeth would require him to be under anesthesia for a much longer period of time so he felt this approach was in Buddha's best interests. I had to trust him at that point. Buddha has not yet had the teeth extracted but he has an appointment next month. |
