I previously had a yorkie named Toby. He was 9 when he passed away. He had kidney stones, went in for surgery and didn't make it thru the surgery. I was devastated! I posted here but that was a long time ago.
I have a morkie named Morgan now. She is a blessing! I posted pictures of her when she was a puppy but not anything recent. She is a blonde yorkie. I love her color. She was a year old on March 2nd. I have put off having her spayed. I really think there is the fear of when Toby left and didn't come home. She is alot smaller then Toby was. He was too heavy. He weighed about 11 lbs. Morgan weighs 4.5 lbs. She also has a hernia that they will fix while they have her under. She hasn't had any problems with it but we may as well get it fixed at that time. I haven't made an appt. I just keep putting it off.
Please tell me what to do! I know we don't want puppies and I know its better for her health to have it done but I just can't bring myself to make the call.
Anyone have any advice? Someone give me a swift kick and tell me to make the call!
Thanks for listening. |

I can understand your reason for being nervous. You have to remember though that it was a different cirucumstance. Your Toby was 9 yrs. old and he may have had other medical issues not known. Our vet prior to spay or neutering will run a routine blood panel to rule out any problems. It's pretty routine the spay. I know I was a wreck each time one of my girls were done. If it's any consolation Lilly my little rescue was done when she was only 10 or 12 weeks old. They did a pediatric spay on her. She could not have even been 2 lbs. We got her at 13 weeks old and she had been spayed already, and just weighed shy of 2 lbs. She came through fine. By the way I have a blond Morkie too. She's in my album and she's in my avatar with my Yorkie Bella. Elaine
