I too will having the same dilemma with my Oscar so I keep putting it off. I am going to wait until he is at least a year old and has hopefull gained some weight. That way, if he has problems with his teeth I will be able to do this at this same time.

I have read that you should insist the vet uses the anesthetic isoflurane or sevoflurane as these are the safest and if they don't use it find a vet that does.

I also think it is wise to ring around different vet surgeries and find a vet if you can that has plenty of experience when dealing with small and toy breeds.

I have also read that the vet (who has the most experience) should do the intubation and not the nurse.

I am sure you little pup will be fine but it doesn't hurt to do all you can to minimise any risks.
