| Those who have spayed girls How old was your pup when she had surgery and how much did she weigh? I will be asking my vet next visit what she recommends but i'm wondering if there is a certain weight that is more optimal, like for instance if Bella only weighs 2.5lbs at 6months would it be best to weight a bit to see if she gains and then have it done. I have had 3 large breed dogs spayed and never felt nearly as nervous about it as I do thinking about Bella and Chloe being done. *Chloe is a 19wk old Boston terrier who is tiny for the breed.

| Meeka was fixed at about 5 1/2 months and was 2.2 pounds, she is only 2.5 pounds now so it was not like if I would have waited she would have gotten any bigger.

| Lily was 6 months and 2.5 lbs. I was concerned that she was too small, but the vet put me at ease and all went well, she was back to herself the next day.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Izzy was 5 months at only weighed 2.3 ounces at the time - I truly trust my vet and he has the laser procedure which is less pain, etc., and he is well known in publications, etc., (he has done spaying on mice ), so I was not worried and Izzy was back to her old self the next day. </IMG>

| Misha was 2.2 lbs at 4 months. I waited until all of Pipers teeth to come in before I had her done, so they could remove what baby teeth didn't fall out. Misha never lost her canines, so I had to bring her back in at 7 months to have them removed. Had I know not all small dogs loose all their teeth, I would have waited on Misha so she wouldn't have had to go under twice. The vet didn't tell me about this. So I paid for 2 full surgeries, plus taking the chance of her having 2 surgeries. Don't put them under twice if you don't have to.
