I talked with my vet the other day and asked about having Jo-Jo neutered and they said their rule of thumb is 6 months old and 4 pounds. However, if they were under 4 pounds they would take extra precautions. Has anyone had their tiny male neutered? If so, other than bloodwork and anesthesia, is it all that different than when done on a 'normal' size male? I mean, what questions should I be asking and what should I look for to be sure it's the right vet? I just don't think Jo will ever hit 4 pounds...he'll be lucky to hit 3.5 full grown.
