I feel very good about my choice of Vets as he talked in detail about how he would take every precaution due to her size. He will be using the Iso type of anesthesia. I guess what I am looking for here is maybe someone that has a small baby that went through this and came out fine.....I will be a nervous wreck until it is all over! The vet did say he would do complete blood work, ekg, etc. so I assume if he does not feel she is capable of handling the surgery he will postpone it. Advice? |
Layla was 2 lbs as well when she was spayed. She went in in the morning and i got to bring her home around 6 the same night, although i know not all vets do this. She was FINE! they did the bloodwork there that morning before her spay and if it had come out not ok they would have called me to come get her and we would have tried again. Sadly her adult teeth had not come in so we had to go back again about 3 months later and have her put under again.. so be glad that you can have it both done at once!!!
