You just need to use a vet with experience with small dogs and one who has up to date anesthetic protocols.
I am using the same vet that I have seen for 7 years. I know that he is my best input. He suggested this month to have her spay. I trust him as I know he has performed surgeries on even smaller dogs. I just thought I would let her get a little older hence why I wanted some opinions. At this point I think she is able to go and I will work my schedule to make it where I'm able to be here for her. Thanks for the advice.
