I can't even imagine how you (and your vet staff) must feel. I had my less than 3 pounder at 9 months spayed two weeks ago, and all went well,. I spent that day in a time warp though. They assured me that they spay chichuas that are smaller than her though.

What a void you must feel...I can only imagine. I'm so sorry this happened. There are no explanations that will do.

Getting your baby spayed before first heat was a responsible step as a pet owner who has no intention of breeding. BEfore I knew better, I did not spay a girl I had because I was so sure on dog could ever "get" to her, so why bother...I came home one day and found her in a pool of blood because her uterus had ruptured, so the reverse is not pretty either.

You did the RIGHT thing. You had NO way of knowing that this would happen, and no one is to blame, not even your vet. Please know that this happened for some reason, and it does happen, but it is one of those things in life we always thing will happen to "someone else", but someone is that "someone", and this time it was you, our fellow board member, so it hits close to home.

We all reach out our arms across cyber space to hug you. Being yorkie owners we all put ourselves in your shoes, and catch our breaths, because "there but for the grace of God go I."

Please heal, and do what you need to do to have another baby in your life.
