I found it difficult to find vets willing to do it and they don't like to talk about it if they agree to do it because they aren't supposed to. I'm in New York and don't know what other states require. My current vet says she adjusts the doses. I hate to be suspicious, but I wonder if she really does. I wouldn't know the difference.
My first Yorkie is under 3 lbs at 6 yrs. She did grow and gain weight steadily so I wasn't scared that she was ill. But I was scared to put her under, but she's had anesthesia twice and done fine. My second is 9 months and well on her way past 3 1/2 lbs and when she gets weighed next, I don't know how much she'll be. They are from the same breeder but only share blood lines through their father. But my smaller one had small parents, 3 1/4 and 3 1/2 lbs. but she is still small compared to them. I hope everything will be fine, did you have liver functions done?
| Good Morning,
He has not given her the other shots needed yet, as she had her second teeth removed, and spayed first. He is going to give her 2nd round of shots in a week or so. He said that the small dogs like Sophie cannot have a full dose, as you would give a lab or shepard of the same age. He also said that he would give her a little Benadryl prior to the Vaccinations to help prevent any reaction like before.
When he did the surgery he used gas to sedate her and said it is tricky medicating the very small breeds. They did do a liver profile and found her to be healthy.
She is a SPUNKY little girl!
Thank you & have a great day! |
