| Recommendations for a Vet? Hello -- it's time for my puppy to be neutered! I'm scared to death at the thought of him being under anesthesia because he's so little (3.5 lbs). Can anyone recommend a vet in Massachusetts that has experience neutering a yorkie? Thanks! |

| Do you trust your regular vet to do it? There must be a list of vets in your area in the phone book. I would call them, and ask them about the procedure to see if you feel comfortable with any of them.

| Yes, thanks. I have a great vet, but she does not have the equipment for neutering. A friend recommended a vet for me though, so i think I'm all set! |

| i go to my breeder's vet.... I went to a vet first time and felt so uncorfotable... i mentioned to my breeder who sent me the info on her vets, i love them and they are great !!! You should be concerned as a vet who does not have experience with small dogs can hurt the throat of your baby. My friend has a 4 pound yorkie that had to go to TUFTS to fix a bleeding trackea after her vet of many years tried to spay her new yorkie, they were great vets and she new them for long but she had labs previously. Anyways they did not spay her girl and they did hurt her throat so bad she only ate soft food for weeks ... she finally got her baby spayed at angel memorial when she was already a year and a half old.... after spending hundreds on TUFTS to fix her throat... be really carefull as also there is a special anestesia for the little guys... Go by your guts and be really fussy ... it is your responsibility to protect your little guy !!!!!
