It
is very frightening for us, but little Brodie will be fine! Toto was 8 months because we had to wait for her to weigh 2 lbs., our vet wanted to be sure all the permanent teeth were through because she had lots of baby teeth to remove and she wanted to do teeth/spay at the same time. We totally trusted her and that's a big help too. Toto did great but I was traumatized for several days!!
