I have a 3 pound 11 month old girlie that I had spayed in early July. I was terrified, but totally convinced that it was the right thing to do. My mom's yorkie is 11 years old and 2.5 pounds. She had her spayed at my vet's clinic because he had worked with lots and lots of tiny dogs and was really comfortable in doing so.

Make sure you trust your vet and you (and your baby) will be just fine. Abbi (my dog) was dipsy for the next day and was running and playing the second day after her surgery. The most important thing you have to do is to MAKE SURE that you get some nutrition into your dog the night of the surgery. With them being so small they have no fat reserves to live on. So my vet told me to offer her anything that I could think of that she would eat.

Good luck!!
