Amen. That fear is what drove me forward with little bitty Jilly finally. Back in the mid-90's when Jilly's spay was done, I'd heard a recent rash of dog anesthesia-related horror stories and that sent me reeling for a couple extra years but I finally began to hear there was better anesthesia for tinies and just decided that I had to act out of something other than just anesthesia fear. Now days, my vet explained that the anesthesia they use is better still and they do a pre-op exam, blood, urine and run an IV during surgery, etc., so I am sure that any female I should have in the future will be spayed unless medically contraindicated - and then I would get other opinions to be certain.
