 Vets are experenced at this.
Your dog may be small compared to some breeds, however, your vet spays kittens that are much smaller than your dog. I felt the same as you about my little girl until I realized how small the kittens are that they spay on a regular basis. I once owned a very small Maltese little girl. I didn't get her spayed before her first heat. She contracted a uterine infection during that heat and became very ill. She was hospitalized for 3 days. This type of thing is not common but I won't take the chance again. |
