My sister's Maltese was only a little over 2 pounds when he was neutered and he came out of it just fine. They did take extra precautions with him since he was so little and he didn't have any complications. He also had a luxating patella surgery when he was a little older and about 4 pounds and also didn't have any problems then. If you feel like your vet isn't going to treat him any differently than a larger dog then you should try and get a 2nd opinion.
