I was concerned about having our little Yorkie spayed when she weighed less that 3 lbs. My vet said not to worry, that she practiced on rats. She was spayed and had no problems.
I think our vet was the exception. She retired this year and I took the same Yorkie to get her teeth cleaned and she died during the dental. They said she arrested right when they started the anesthetic. She was 7 and weighed 3lbs 6oz.
My regular vet had cleaned her teeth twice before without problems. |
