And when they gave her the 1st set of booster vaccinations, they did the full exam (think its the wellness program they offer) and really worked her over! They told me she would be sore, but I couldnt even carry her out (I refuse to put her on a leash where bigger dogs are present!) I bought a fluffy dog bed that had gel in the mattress to place her in so I could walk her to the truck! I was upset greatly!

10 weeks is not necessarily too early. Like I said before, most new vets are spaying earlier...it's mostly the older vets that stick to the traditional "6 months" thing. I've never used Banfield but I'm applying for a job at one of their hospitals this summer. From everything I've learned about their facilities, they are up-to-date with the latest equipment, newest technology, and have good vets.

To the OP - just FYI - there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie. A yorkie is a toy breed and there is only one size. The standard says they can be up to 7lbs. You'll see them from 1-20lbs though...some are smaller than normal and some grow larger than normal. But a yorkie is just a yorkie
