I took her to my vet. Vet's office is open but only the dogs are allowed in so I could not speak to the vet directly. I had to wait outside in the car. I did full bloodworks and she is healthy. However, she has 7 baby teeth that needs to be removed. I want to wait until she is older for spaying, at least when this Covid 19 situation is over... I was advised by the vet's office to remove teech and spay her at the same time but I am likely to just have her teeth removed for now. And may be spay her later... |
I’m glad to hear she is healthy. 3.5 pounds is small, but not as fragile as some of the super tiny ones I’ve seen advertised. And she may grow a bit more.
Is there any particular reason you’re considering waiting on the spay surgery? My vet had the same recommendation for Jax: do his neuter and remove any retained baby teeth at the same time. It was planned for him to have it done at eight months, although we were a little late due to covid closures. Still, I’m very glad they were done at the same time. He’s a little over four pounds, and I would hate to be worrying over another anesthesia & surgery — one was nerve wracking enough!
