Johnny Cash is just over 5 months and already beginning to hump. He's scheduled for a neutering tomorrow and I have a couple of questions.

Cash is 3.5-4 pounds now

1) Is he too young or small for such a procedure?
2) At 3.5-4lbs., can he handle the anesthesia?
3) If he has a adverse reaction to anesthesia, is there a treatment to prevent death in such cases? How does death result from an anesthesia reaction? What happens to the body? Is the death caused by the resulting dehydration from vomiting, etc? Can the dehydration be treated with fluids and, if so, what is prognosis for recovery in such cases?
