I researched this quite a bit and have 2 cases for you.....

Bella was also 6 months and I had 9 teeth (remaining baby teeth) when spayed. She is fine and perfect teeth. Actually ate kibble the next day! I took that away and went with soft food recommendation for 2 days...

My sisters yorkie Ada, (Bella's sister) did not have baby teeth pulled when spayed....they waited for them to fall out. Her breath stunk BAD, she acted sickly and she bled all over everything trying to get these teeth out. The stink was rotten food and infection in her gums. She then had to be put under a second time to have them removed....Same exact thing happened to another litter mate who waited.

We were told this infection can do damage to permanent teeth and there is no reason to leave baby teeth in.

I suppose its up to you I would ponder this....
She is already under, your reducing chances of infection, your reducing chances of damage to adult teeth....

I could be totally wrong. Just wanted to share my own experiance with this situation.
Hope this helps!
