Likely her vet has treated tiny toy dogs before and knows even a six month old tiny can drop standing in the middle of the floor due to hypoglycemia so fasting has to be handled differently. I'd be certain to question how the vet handles aspiration during surgical anesthesia just in case, so she can know how prepared they are for that contingency.
I'm pretty certain they'll carefully question her about what, when and how much food/water was ingested at the small, pre-op breakfast but if not, insist on speaking to the surgeon first to tell him/her so they'll know exactly what they are dealing with and be as certain as they can the stomach has cleared of all content before anesthetizing.
