I spoke to my vet a few weeks ago, she said she has done quite a few spayings on pups that weigh less than mine does even(she's 2 lbs 5 oz and almost 8 mos). I'm still having a hard time on this as I know someone in here just lost their yorkie from the aneshesia recently and she was under 3 lbs.
I just wonder if it has something to do with how healthy they are at that age though. |
My breeder said that someone was purchasing another puppy from her because they just lost theirs while undergoing anesthesia to be spayed. It seems like to me that Yorkies seem to have more of a problem than tiny kittens, and other small animals, etc. Two vets that I've talked with say they are more worried about older dogs going under than a tiny puppy. And of course they always say there's a chance that could happen any time even with humans. I've been thinking about going to a vet that deals with small and exotic animals. She does lazer surgery to spay. She's expensive, but well worth it if it doesn't kill her.
