If you are truly set on spaying her then I would defintiely recommend a specialist, particularly one familiar with the needs of small toy breeds like yorkies. I would also look into the less invasive procedures like laporoscopy, tubal ligation and laser surgery. You defintiely want a state of the art facility and a professional that spends time with you addressing your concerns, gives you a tour of the operatory and explains the equipment used and the entire surgical process including what anesthesia will be used, who will be monitoring the vitals (I recommend a second vet) and how long your baby wil be under.
I have decided at this point against spaying my two small females because I have not been convinced that the risk of the surgery outweighs the benefits. Mine are with me 24/7 and there is no risk of unwanted pregnancy since my male is neutered.
If I change my mind in the future and decide for whatever reason that one of both need to be altered I will do what I advised above and probably do the laporoscopy of the tubal ligation.
Good luck. |
