Okay, take some deep breaths if you can - bc it will be okay; I know you're worried. And on top of that, your vet made an utterly unscientific untrue comment about small dogs and anesthesia. Perhaps they made that comment bc they are not skilled in this area - so steer far away!
Instead, go to someone who is experienced in surgery, knee surgeries, and small dogs. ALL 4 of mine have had to go under and all 4 have done beautifully. My 2 smallest yorkies are 3.5-4 pounds, so they're small...they did awesome.
As long as you do the pre-surg bloodwork - everything should be just fine; there is no reason your girl would do poorly merely bc of her size. Just not true.
