It sounds like you have done some thinking about breeding this girl. I am glad to hear you have decided to spay her. You are doing the best thing for her and I commend you on that. Good luck maybe you can get a larger female to breed still.

Well said! A lot of us couldn't handle losing our baby. They are our baby, not a pet ........ It's a very real possibility with breeding especially for a small one. I sure wounldn't risk it for anything.

I agree I would not breed - but do make sure you have the right vet, too many stories about things not going right - also make sure you have the funds to spend to have done what ever might need to be done. The teeth do need to come out and I know when My boys had there Nip and Tuck (that's what we called it) they had some bad teeth taken out and were just fine - I will say the day I brought them home I took off from work and the next day as well - be prepared - it was hard to watch them the first day they weren't themselves and I felt so guilty I just wanted to die - I gave them anything they wanted and then some. They were back to themselves in about two days.
