I just got this done..3/14 and my little guy (5.6 lb) did just fine. I had a mobile vet come to my house and they did everything in my driveway! I also got his yearly shots done while he was under. I was a nervous wreck, but it made me feel better knowing that I could go check on him whenever I wanted. The vet also knew I was a mess with the whole thing and kept me updated throughout (I had another dog getting shots, and my MIL's dog getting neutered too). I got 2 doses of medicine to give him the next 2 days, and he was just fine after they were finished. I am still worried about him jumping and things, but he does it anyways.
Find out what they use for pain meds after, and how they put them to sleep. For mine, they used gas, so it was a quicker wake-up. I think it also made them less drowsy.
