My second Yorkie, Jilly, was tiny, frail at 3 lbs. and I waited until she was 6 1/2 yrs. B4 getting enough courage to have her spayed due to anesth fears. Finally, my fear of the dire health consequences and her hating to wear the Bitch Britches combined to spur me on and little bitty Jilly did fine. She overnighted at the vet's where they watched her BP, I checked on her frequently with the vet student on duty all night and picked her up the next day. She was still a bit loopy when I picked her up, slept quite a bit that night and by the 3rd day she was seemingly back to herself. I was certain to give her the dose of prescribed pain medication to keep her comfortable as dogs are so stoic about pain and don't show much of it like humans do;and was careful not let her lick the wound and by the 3rd day she was already ignoring the wound, not even trying to lick or pick at it. I was so happy that we had done it that I was over the moon afterward, knowing my baby was at less risk for getting cancer than before. I would be sure to take her to a doctor that is familiar with operating on very small dogs and used to dealing with their particular problems. Best wishes to you and your girl as she takes this next step in her healthcare.
