We recently spayed our chihuahua and had all her baby teeth pulled as she had 2 sets of teeth, infected bleeding gums and horrendous breath. She was 18 months old at the time and she weighed 1lb 12oz. Now that's small, and she was fine. We were very hesitant about doing it also and we were told to do it before she went into her first heat. That didn't happen until she was 16 months old and we thought maybe it would NEVER happen since she is so underdeveloped in so many ways. Well, our chi was miserable the entire heat time and we said never again. We took our chances and all's well. Good luck!

PS: Her breath was much better after she had the baby teeth pulled. But the stink is back, just not as bad!
