She weighs 2.5lbs. Give or take a little when she eats alot. My vet wont spay her and I completely agree with him.
My concern is getting her teeth extracted. She has some double teeth that need to be removed.
Can the anesthesia be harmful for her since shes so small? Im not sure what to do about her teeth because I dont think she can just have double teeth. 
Also, does anyone have any pointers on getting her to gain weight? Shes healthy, she just needs to grow.  |
Cailee was 4-1/2 months old and was almost 3 lb when she was was spayed. I talked to the vet about it and same comments as others. There is always a risk but they operate on much smaller animals all the time with success. Cailee came through just fine.
As for your question about weight gain, I'd say it depends on your pups genes more than anything. Cailee is now 7 months old and has been 4 lbs for several months even though she eats like a little piglet. As long as she is eating, I don't think I can do much about her weight.
