I'm so scared
Tila only weighs 4 lbs.!!
Why do they have to put them under when they're so small?
All she would honestly need was some pain meds
one person to hold her
one person to open her mouth
and one to pull the teeth.  |
Theres nothing more to worry about w/ a smaller dog going under than a bigger dog. And sometimes painmeds don't help as much. If their doing anything in the mouth, no matter how hard a person holds her, she still might move around, then they might accidently cut her. The procedure would go a lot smoother. And sometimes it's hard to hold these little dogs. Whenever were trying to cut Rocky's hair I hold him, but I'm afraid to hold him to tight because his bones are too tiny, so he always ends up squirming away somehow.
She should be fine, but I've read on here about getting gas instead of anestetic. Ask your vet about that, and get second opinions and do research, anything to help make you more comfortable. Good luck
