confused about spaying I have a 4 pound female yorkie who is almost 8 months old and I was going to have her spayed, but I have heard stories that dogs this small don't always come out of the antestetic, I'm not sure what to do.She also has double teeth that need to be removed. Does anyone have info that they can share on this? It would surely be helpful. Thank You! |

4lbs is not that tiny I have had 3 1/2 lbs females spayed. First, make sure your Vet is familiar with small toy breeds of dogs. Do a preanesthetic blood test to be sure she can handle the anesthesia. Make sure your Vet uses Isofluorine, not halathane which I don't think they even make anymore anyway so doubt you would have to worry about that but check. You can ask your girl be on IV. Some will also attach other monitors to be sure she is doing fine through the surgery. Make sure it is a well experienced Vet. |
Thank you so much for the info. I will certainly talk to our vet about that. |
I will second what Lorraine said. Female dogs are at much higher risk for mammary cancer if they are not spayed before their first heat. Many more positive reasons than negative ones to spay. Discuss your concerns with your vet, then sign on here for support for the big day. Your baby will do just fine. |
