I also had my male, Brody, neutered. He weighs 3 pounds, 7 ounces and I was worried, too. The big problem was in convincing the vet's assistant that I wanted to bring him home after the surgery. At most vets, mine included, the dogs are left unsupervised from about 7 or 8 PM until the morning and Brody sleeps with me and I knew that he would be really upset. The telling question was when I asked them about who would check on him throughout the night. I convinced them that he would get more supervision with me, I got to bring him home. He had surgery first in the morning and I picked him up at closing time. Brody and I both survived!
