I just went through a similar situation, although my girl was 3 1/2 lbs, and the male was 3. My advise is to make sure your vet uses isoflourane and preferably is equipped for laser surgery. (much less painful and heals faster). You can have her spayed at the same time that she has a c-section and it won't effect her milk supply. Personally, I would question the vet you're using if he/she didn't suggest a spay for a monorchid (one testicle) dog, as odds are he will develop cancer in the retained testicle. Plus, it's an inherited trait. I wouldn't even consider letting my girl try to deliver the 2 pups she carried. It's going to cost, but I'm sure your baby means the world to you and you'd never forgive yourself if you lost her. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes.
