[Ellie May]

I have no vet to recommend there but it might be very difficult to find a vet that only sees small dogs. There may be some that have extra experience with them but most vets see their share of them. Ellie doesn't see a small breed specialist and she has had surgery twice with good results. Whoever your vet is, they do need to have good surgical protocol.

Preop blood work should be done.
Surgery should be done on a heated surface.
Isoflurane or sevoflurane should be used as maintenance anesthesia.
