We just had Addi spayed last Saturday and it was a hard decision for us. At first we thought, wow, it would be fun to let Addi have puppies. But after joining Yorkietalk and reading some great advice, we realized, 1.Addi was not large enough to have puppies(she weighs less than 4 pounds) 2.Breeding Yorkies is not an easy or money making idea 3.As much as we were afraid of complications from having her spayed, the risks she faced if we didn't were far greater. Addi is 15 months old and I know we should have had her spayed earlier but it took us a while to work up the courage. We ask for pre-op bloodwork, a certain type anesetic(?spelling), and ask many questions beforehand. She is doing great today. Hope this helps!
