Thanx for your post. The info is not altogether accurate, however. Having the dog or puppy put under anesthesia several times can be more dangerous than taking the few extra minutes to do, say a dental or minor hernia, while your dog is already under. While going under anesthesia a dog can indeed have problems and if the vet has a trained tech who does the monitoring and the level of anesthesia, the procedures can indeed be done very safely. If you have questions remember to always ask your vet before you commit to the procedures. Some vets are not well-trained in TOY breeds and that is when major complications occur.
Our responsibility as pet owners is to research every aspect of their health care. Sounds as if you are already doing that and I am glad.
