I have six. Five girls and one boy. My girls are spayed and my boy neutered. All came out of it fine. My youngest is a tiny. She weighs 2.5 pounds full grown. She's almost a year and half now. I had her done around six months old because we were hoping she'd grow some. She was only 2 lbs. when she was spayed. I was a nervous wreck, but she did fine. The main thing is to be sure of what kind of anastisia they are using. There is a safer, more expensive one and then the other that is not reccomended, especially for small dogs. I forget what the safe one is, maybe someone on here will know. My vet used the best and safest and he told me with my tiny that there were precautions they took especially with tiny ones, but as with all surgeries you really want to have the blood work done etc. and with a boy especially it is so much easier it really is. Spay and neutering really does add years to their lives. It helps to prevent their chances of cancer etc. I think the good outweighs the bad. Good Luck. Elaine |
