You can do all of it at the same time as long as she is doing well under anesthesia.

Preop blood work (blood panel and CBC) should be done. Bile acids testing, urinalysis and EKG are more on the optional side but never a bad idea. I would not want to put a Yorkie under without the bile acids test personally.

An IV should be placed before surgery so that they have an emergency line in her if needed. Placing it in the middle of an emergency is not a good plan.

Surgery should be done on a heated surface. Toy breeds can lose body heat quickly.

Only certain anesthesias should be used. Isoflurane or Sevoflurane gas should be used to maintain but before intubation, something else will be given like Propofol or Ace.

They can come home the same day but if the vet wants to watch them overnight, that's fine too as long as someone is there. Some vets just leave them alone which is obviously not okay.
