I am sorry that your baby had problems. We planned to have our Yorkie spayed/neutered even before we began our search for one. We just were never interested in raising pups and still aren't. We are fortunate that our Toto's vet specializes in the Yorkie breed and we have always relied on her to know what was best. Toto had to be 6 months or 2 lbs. to be spayed ... she didn't reach 2 lbs. until she was 8 months old and she did great and also had her remaining baby teeth removed. She never needed her pain meds and survived the whole thing way better than we did. The main things that Dr. Lucy cautioned us about was that she wasn't to jump around a lot and we had to make sure she drank enough liquids and we gave her nutrical because she didn't want to eat. I held her in my arms for two days and nights straight ... and on the third day she suddenly stood up, stretched, went to her wee wee pad & went potty and ate when I offered her food. Her stitches came out after ten days. After that, she never slowed down.
