And, Breeze, no we did not have a spay contract. Her papers are limited. We just believe in having them spay or neutered. IDK what to do. Do you think we should wait? Vet said she'll be fine. That they will do her first and have her up and eating by noon and then right home. He said main concern with little ones this size is keeping them warm and getting them to eat. He said it's like doing a kitten. Anyway, what is all your input on this. Hubby is a nervous wreck, probably more so then me. She'll be 6.5 months end of January. IOh and breeder said she won't hit heat until around a year old but vet said it's really a gamble.

sounds as though your vet is pretty confident and versed in smaller animals. That is a plus. Maggie May was just under 3 lbs when she got spayed and did fine. She was in a bit of paint he first night and was still a little quiet the 2nd day. By day 3 she was pretty much back to her old self--terror. lol
Just kidding. If your vet is experienced with the little ones and they are going to do her early so she can wake up and not fast too long I would say that is a good game plan. Easy for me to say as it's in the past for me. Best of luck whatever you decide.
