Some people feel safer if the dog is over 2lbs, but the truth is that any size of dog can be anaesthetized...you just have to find a vet familiar with tiny dogs and use the right kind of amount of anaesthesia. Be sure to have a full blood panel done before as well to make sure your dog is 100% healthy before he has his surgery. |
this is a very good reply!
Kash just got neutered last thursday. he will be 5 1/2 months old this saturday (May 10), and when they weighed him on the day of his surgery, he was 2.7lbs. i don't want to be repetitive, so i'll just say that i agree 100% with MyFairLacy's response. good luck!
