Half YOUR battle is making certain you have a competent vet....if your vet knows what he is doing, you have half your worries alleviated. Make sure your vet works on lots of Yorkies, because there are things that are specific to yorkies that vets should be aware of...like anesthesia they can and can not tolerate, pain meds and correct dosages, signs and symptoms of post op issues.
....if you have a good vet that is knowledgable about yorkies, you can rest some. If your baby is healthy, which your vet has no control over, that is your breeders issue, you have a head start on any issues your puppy may have. I would INSIST your vet always has an IV going during surgery as well as up until you pick that baby up....that way, they are not poking and digging in a frantic search for veins if something does happen....also, your vet can give IV fluid with glucose in it, so your baby's sugar is tanked up and hypoglycemia from the stress of surgery is very much negated.....You can insist they do this for you....
When you have a great vet that knows what they are doing, specific with this yorkie breed, and your baby is healthy, that is the only thibg you can do. We all worry ourselves sick when any of our babies go under the knife....the best, the ONLT thing we can do is to make sure they have a great facility and a great vet working on them....the vet will know what he is doing pre- as well as intra- and post- op! |
