Mating/Birth/Sterilization What are the risks for my Yorkie?
 

Hi,
I am the mother of a 17 month old, 1 kilogram and 100 grams weighing little yorkie named Tinky. She has been with me since a year. Just after I got her I realised she has issues of hypo-sugar meaning unless fed frequently she develops a sugar attack (passing out, trembling, screaming) due to low sugar blood. As soon as the attack begins I make her lick some honey and she recovers right away.
I want her to be a mommy and have her own children and experience motherhood. However it is suggested that she shouldn't be mated and give birth since she is so tiny and it might be risky for her to give birth and I might loose her.
Now, this brings out the second problem. If not mated, due to excess oestrogen excretion she might be prone to ovarian or breast cancer therefore she should be sterilised. And this brings out a third problem. And it is the risk of operation. I am told that a sterilisation operation might be risky since her blood sugar might fall during operation and I might loose her.
Now in this situation what would be your suggestions? I am so mixed up. I love my baby and I want to give the best decision.
My advanced thanks to all who will share their thoughts about my situation.

She is way too small to be having puppies, so you should definitely discard that option. You should consult with a vet to see if it would be safe to have her spayed.

She is way to small to have puppies it could even kill her. Dogs don't have the need to be a mom like humans do. A reputable breeder will never breed a yorkie under 5 pounds because of the dangers. If she is an adult and having low blood sugar issues then normally there is a cause so I would do a full blood work up that checks all the organs and stuff. I would try to find the cause of the sugar issues then look into spaying her.

Thank you very much:animal36:animal-pa:animal36:animal-pa:aimeeyork:animal-pa:aimeeyork:animal-pa
