Make sure she has pre op bloodwork to make sure her organs can handle anesthesia. She also needs a pre op EKG to detect any heart abnormalities.

What type of anesthesia will your vet use? Isoflurane or sevoflurane are the two most popular. Iso is a little safer for our toy breed dogs as sevo can lower their temperature too much. Sevo isn't dangerous, but it needs closer monitoring.
