I have had Yorkies of all ages and sizes spayed/neutered and dentals. I have not had ONE problem. It is a personal decision but one that I would advise you learn all you can and then have it done unless you are totally against it.
Does your vet do a blood panel before anesthetizing the dog? Do they have an OR tech or vet whose only job during surgery is to monitor the dog and its vitals and amt of anes has/is being administered? Is there a trained person there overnight to keep an eye on your baby?
My heart of hearts Jesse had dentals and neutering and had not one single problem. I left him there over night but it was as much a prevention as a necessity. He was not a healthy little guy and would stop eating at the drop of a hat. I felt he needed the iv's overnight.. I took chopped chicken in the evening and he ate a bit after midnight. BUT, next morning he scarfed it up..I knew then I had made the right decision.. |
