Boy, I wasn't on for a while and now I got so many responses!!!
Well, I'll talk to my vet again and if I feel uncomfortable with him, I'll look for new vet.
LoveMyGirlz (Trina), I can't wait for Momiji to have sleep over for few nights!!!
I'll be heart broken but I have to travel for few days...
I have a nightmare about Momiji not wanting to come home with me after the business trip because she had such a great time with your girls....
She is doing good but how's your Truffles???
I hope she is doing better!!!

My pup was small at the time of her spay and I also didn't feel comfortable with my vet's ability to operate on her. Nyx was less than 3 lbs when she was spayed. I found an animal hospital where they routinely perform surgeries on small animals. Four months later she's completely healed, can't see or feel the scar.

As for teeth, I thought the docs would have to remove an insane amount but she only had double canines, she lost all her teeth. They sometimes swallow them by accident which is why I didn't find any loose teeth.

Good luck with your pup and only do what you feel comfortable with.

Awwww! Don't worry, Momiji will have a great "vacation" but she will be happy to have her mommy back and sleep in her own bed again

Plus I bet she likes being an only child

Truffles is just fine now, thank you for asking! She is running all over and wishes she had a puppy with as much energy as her to play with! Vixxen gets a bit lazy sometimes

Im a little late coming in on this one...

Miss Kimber is booked to get spayed on Friday - she is just over 3 lbs at 6 months...

I don't think it's a good idea to NOT get bloodwork!!! Kimber got bloodwork done on Thursday - she is not at the vet all day today getting more bloodwork/bile acid tests and x-rays to see if she has a liver shunt or other problems. If I didn't get the blood work the vet says she could have had serious trouble when they put her under, so I am very glad I did!!!

I know someone else with a male they got fixed at 7 months and had his baby teeth pulled

I am in the same situation and I am scared because London will be 6 mos old soon and she is only 2 lbs. I really am going to have to do a lot of research on a vet I can trust that has a lot of experience with small dogs.

Pipersmommy · 03-26-2007, 04:09 AM

Better off waiting until you find out if the canines come out. No sence on having her go under twice.

I would have to get someone to drive me but I don't mind. If they are experienced with smaller dogs then that is great. Where in Jersey is it? Also do you know how much they charge for spaying?

kalina82 · 03-26-2007, 04:08 PM

its in Hohokus, which is next to paramus and ridgewood. if you were to take the GW over you can take 80 to the parkway. probably only take 20-30 minutes. you'd have to make a first time appt first so they can do an overall health check before doing surgery.
