It is not unheard of for a show male or a male from a show line to be 6.5 lbs thou and used for breeding.
As for the vet he/she wouldn't have any final decision on wether they spayed their female or not. He/She can give their opinion but the final decision is the owners no matter how well the vet likes it or not.
And to spay a female at the same time as a C-section is dangerous as she is more apt to bleed out. So I would only suggest that if it was a lifesaving decision, I would wait until she has had time to recoop and then have her spayed later but she should have never been bred the first time being that small.

Thanks, I appreciate your responses.

I agree that the female should have never been bred the first time. Poor thing! I just meant that I'm surprised the Vet didn'tadvise this lady not to breed her again or that, obviously, she could get pregnant after the C-section. I know it is up to the owner - but I think more Vets are starting to "ask" about spay/neutering where as 10+ yrs ago they just "mentioned" it and left it at that.

I bet that's where she got them then. Sad though. I doubt that the breeder would appreciate her line being bred like that - in the back yard.

BTW - Welcome to YT! Glad you joined!
