I brought her home when she was 12 weeks old because the breeder would not release her until she was sure she would be okay. Her siblings were so much bigger than her and were able to go to their homes at 8-9 weeks. People were actually bidding to try to buy her before I got her! My vet says she is exceptionally healthy for her tiny size. She is unbelievably smart, active and loving.
She is supposed to be spayed next week and I am dying!!! I cannot imagine that tiny body having anesthesia and surgery. But worse, I cannot imagine keeping her calm and still for any length of time for her to heal. My heart will break if anything happens to her. I am actually considering and thinking of just not doing it yet... Any suggestions? |
Pre-op blood test is also a good idea. That way you know her little liver is in tip top shape and can handle the anesthesia.
In case you didn't know, all yorkie puppies should be released when they are 12 weeks old, not sooner. For tinnies, reputable breeders may keep them longer.
