  Sorry for all that you are going through with your pup.  That does sound like a small amount of food, however it is not uncommon for dogs 10 lbs or more to be fed 1/4 cup twice a day.  Have you asked your vet to clarify the feeding, and told him how she seems hungry?  Maybe he would allow you to give her something to supplement, like green beans, that would fill her up a bit, but not be toxic to her like other protein.
 Surgery does have risks, but I believe chances of your pup living a long life are better if she does have it than not.  There are no guarantees, unfortunately; you just need to give the pup the best possible care.  Good luck and do keep us posted.
