My little 3 pound yorkie is due to be spayed next week. I have heard many things about super small dogs going under anesthesia and either never coming out of it or get a collapsed trachea from intubation. Are these really things I should be looking out for? If so, how common are these problems? My vet told me he fixed a yorkie around my yorkie's size and it went fine. He also said he's never seen a collapsed trachea due to intubation. I really would appreciate some help with this. I am ever so nervous!
