I have never heard of a vet recommending leaving a pup with something like that. What does her weight have to do with it? Pups undergo anesthesia all of the time that weigh 4 pounds...even less. I would go for another opinion if she were mine.

Besides, they could easily take care of it when she has her dental. She does have dentals I hope.
