I had debated on whether to get her spayed b/c of her size, but after reading about smaller yorkies doing fine on here, I feel better about getting her done. Another reason is she came into heat 2 weeks ago and she has not been herself. I never want to put her through this again, not to mention it is a big mess!! I am going to have the pre-op blood work done on her before just to make sure everything is ok.
So, I am already worried & scared, but what do I need to buy for her beforehand to make her more comfortable after I pick her up? She has onesies already.

I am with you on this one! Fiona just turned 7 months old on the 29th, and getting spayed on tuesday the 4th, and im a nervous wreck that she will come into heat before hand, but i think we are good. I know what to expect since I used to help out with surgeries ( i used to be a vet tech) and i'm still nervous. My vet is telling me they wont do pre blood work on her since she is at a good weight and a healthy puppy, and im not sure if i agree with that.

I will tell you that you will have to keep her confined for about a week, must be leash walked only, no baths, cannot get her belly wet, and you need to keep her low key. they will probably send her home on some antibiotics, and may even use a fentanyl patch on her that transmits pain relief to her- its usually called a pain patch- but some vets dont do that. i do know that i drop her off in the am, and pick her up in the pm....

good luck, and i hope all will be well with my baby girl on tuesday!
