I'm no professional and usually I would suggest getting her spayed at 5 month
too but you MAY want to wait a bit for her to gain a little bit of weight. Lots
of dogs get spayed at around 2lbs and are absolutely fine but just make sure
they are using the right anesthetic protocol. Sevoflourne or Isoflourine gas
should be used. (I hope I'm spelling those right!)

Baby teeth being pulled is a VERY common thing in Yorkies/small dogs! Not
to worry! Jackson had 4 baby teeth pulled while under for his neuter.
