| On Monday, I lost my 3.5 pound little girl when she was put under anesthesia. We don't know whether is was because of an allergic reaction, or the fault of the vet we took her to. Either way, we should have thought about the issue (like you obviously have) and found a more experienced and better equipped vet to take her to. I just want to warn you that no price is too much to pay for your dog's safety, and it really isn't worth taking the risk. |

| Don't worry about going to the humane society. You definitely want to double check, but ours does pre-surgery blood work and ONLY use isofluerene on ALL breeds (including Yorkies). They will usually pull leftover baby teeth for free while your dog is still under. Spay/neuter clinics are usually even cheaper. In Chicago they do it by zip code. My zip code pays $40, but the one next to mine pays nothing because the median income is lower. You definitely want to call around and make sure your baby gets the best care possible. Also, I disagree w/ making the dog stay over night. Stewie had major surgery and the vet let him come home the same night -- 12 hours after the procedure. I don't think that a simple neuter or spay would require an overnight stay, let alone two nights, but again I am no vet. You should do whatever you're most comfortable with Don't be embarassed at all for considering the humane society or a shelter - that's what they're there for!

| My concern w/the Humane Society is the "service" they wouldn't provde, the extras for comfort, etc. Aren't they cheaper so they try to cut their own costs? Do they use two professionals, one for the surgery and one for the anesthesia? This is vital as one person cannot safely do this. |
