Find a vet that has lots of experience w/small toy dogs. Luckily, I trust my vet & she says rest assured, in the shelters, they spay & neuter 2 lb puppies & as early as 6 weeks old. The ones sadly that lost their lives during surgeries like this is very unfortunate, but also very seldom.
Spaying your precious girl before she has her 3nd heat will reduce (sorry I don't have the percentage) mammary cancer, but spaying after if I recall, doesn't lessen the chance.
Mimi's daughter got spayed when she hit almost 3lbs @ 9 months & did fine. |
