is she skinny but not too skinny? ie, she's eating well and at her ideal weight for her age?
i wanted to neuter bunjee asap but my vet recommended that i wait until he's pushing 5 lbs before we put him under. of course the type of anesthesia helps too. some are better for little ones than others.
i was a nervous wreck when i took bunjee to the vet the day he was scheduled for his neutering too. but he handled everything beautifully and hours later you wouldn't even know he was ever in surgery earlier in the day. i know spaying a female is a little different but i'm sure your vet will be able to make the best possible recommendation for isabella. who knows, it might be better for you to wait until she gets a little bigger, and most of her teeth have naturally fallen out so you can do the spaying and any teeth extraction at the same time. good luck! |
