You should also call another vet (or several in your area) they are more than willing to give out simple FREE advice about spay/neutering. I've been told it was more age than weight...I've actually had a Russian Dwarf hamster spayed so weight wasn't an issue. I have a 9 pound Yorkie that cannot be fixed...he has cluster seizures and going under anesthesia is dangerous for him, so personally I advise people (only if you can) wait to be sure their pet doesn't have any health concerns before getting fixed. Obviously getting your pet fixed is such an important issue these days...but so is overall health. Many vets will fix my dog but my vet said that in all honesty dogs with seizures (especially cluster seizures) have a 50% chance of having complications that can lead to loss of life...I'd always for everything ask multiple vets. On a specific note it should be added (males have only a slightly higher risk) females are at MUCH higher risks for many health issues if they are not fixed, even if you have a breeding dog after breeding they are recommended to be fixed as uterus in dogs shifts with age holds bacteria and this can lead to life threatening infections and cancers...
