How old or how big do they have to be to get this done??

When we first purchased Avery-she still needed to remain at the breeders for a couple more weeks-but she told us that she would be microchipped when we picked her up..but was told by her vet all the pups were too small still and needed to wait about another month. She then took her lil one about a month later and told us the vet said they were still too little. (that same week we took avery to our vet & just asked him about it while we were there.. he told us he could do it, but because she was so little still it would be too painful and to wait a lil bit.
..This was a little over a month ago and she was about 1.6lbs.. now she is almost 3lbs. Is this ok to have it done now??-i have heard some people say they need to be put under-i do not want that though.

Also- is it normal to gain that much weight so quickly?? (she's not overweight at all-so just wonderring?) I know this isnt the only factor for Avery's full grown size but, Her mom was 2.5lbs and the dad was 3 lbs. (obviously she did not plan on breeding her tiny lil girl-accident!!.. but all 3 pups survived!!) Just curious..
