Glad you're niece is recovering well! As for surgery on little ones, how little is your baby? I just had my Rio spayed this past Tuesday and she's only 2.6 lbs. (she's 8 months old). My vet told me that what's important is that her organs were mature enough to handle the anesthesia, not so much her weight. We had the optional pre-anesthesia blood work done to be sure, and all her blood work was perfect. She did fine and is recovering nicely. Go with your gut feeling and ask LOTS of questions. In my opinoin, if your vet doesn't seem "comfortable" discussing how little your baby is and the surgery, go to someone else. |
