Default Scared to spay...your thoughts?

I have a 3 year old yorkie who is a little over two pounds. I'm TERRIFIED to have her spayed as she is so small.

The irony here is that I have been doing rescue for 10 years, primarily Siamese cats and have spayed/neutured everything I could get my hands on!! Literally thousands, so I know the odds and there were kittens/cats, dogs/puppies that didn't make it through.

The thought of her not coming out of it when it would do nothing to benefit her health makes me think about it.

Is it really required for her health? I'm not going to breed her. She's never around unaltered males, etc.

My vet's only recommedation in terms of doing it, is that it's one less place for cancer to show up, other than that...she's ok with me not moving forward.

Your thoughts?

Kelly
