My little Holly was six months and 1.5kg--3lbs and a bit--when she was spayed two months ago. Like you I was nervous about it. My vet and the vet nurses were great. She had the pre-op blood work done,a IV line so her blood sugar didn't drop too low and a breathing tube. The vet said although she was the smallest dog she has spayed,she was one of the easier ones. They kept her warm after the op. and cuddled her and wouldn't let her home until she was eating--that was later the same day.I asked for post-op pain meds.
We went in next day for a check-she had only 3 stitches, then a week later to get them out. I had to get a headcollar for her as she tried to bite the stitches.
She recovered beautifully. She was sleepy for a couple of days and crab walked for the first day,then was running around as normal. I am so glad to have it all over with! The sense of relief aferwards was tremendous!
Good luck with your little one! I am sure she will be fine.
