Knox is a 4lb male yorkie. He is 8 months old. He has two rows of teeth on top and 8 total canine teeth. I have an appointment for Wednesday morning to have his remaining baby teeth extracted. I'm really worried about it.

I don't want to have him neutered. I would love to breed him at least once. He's housebroken, doesn't hump, and is a happy, playful little dog. The vet really thinks I should neuter him while he's under, but I'm reluctant. I want to present my mom the gift of his little boy one day.

If you have any experience with teeth removal, any suggestions would be appreciated. I assume he will need soft food for a few days. I suspect he will be pretty sick afterward too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
