But I want to mention that a small dog CAN get pregnant. My Tatiana is 3 lbs, and was pregnant before (with her breeder).

Tatiana recovered, and her breeder decided to sell her (to me) because she couldn't breed (but can get pregnant).
Also, a small, intact female can still get PYOMETRA. Google this condition, if you're unfamiliar. It can be fatal, especially in a small dog because they can succumb quickly to the infection.
In my opinion, that vet is an idiot. | Very good point that we forget to mention a lot. thanks for bringing it up.
