 Great post kjc!
I'm very fortunate to have a great vet hospital just down the street from me & all mine got spayed & neutered there. They do keep them there overnight. One of Mimi's pups is right at 3 lbs & she got neutered at 9 months of age & also had her dentals (baby teeth extractions) done. I also have them microchipped...those needles are HUGE!
Maybe it's a good thing to wait awhile for Jillie's surgery, that way, you can also have her dentals done at the same time. Most Yorkie's (in my experience anyways) have their 1st heat cycle after they turn one, esp the little ones.
Mom to Hot Rod has those fantastic softee collars. Just in case she picks at her surgery site. That is another important issue. Our vet hardly leaves any scar & mine didn't touch their incision site at all!
*kjc...I would've fainted or freaked out if I saw my baby on the operating table & she almost died!! |
