I was a spay holdout for fear my little 3 lb. Jilly would die under anesthesia but as the risks to her health of not spaying were so great and the success rate of spaying so great, I had to back my ears and have it done. She stayed over night with the vet tech talking me through the night and a quick visit by me, came home sleepy the next day but ate, drank, peed/pooped quite normally and by the next morning, she seemed back to her old self. I gave her the prescribed pain medication to keep her as comfortable as possible and by the 4th po day, it was all as if nothing had happened except she had no more heats, no more bitches britches, pad changes, or near as many health risks, etc. She never really tried to bother her stitches except on 2 occasions and I just gathered her into my lap and she went to sleep instead of trying to keep licking. I was so relieve that she had had the procedure once it was over and I didn't have to worry about it all anymore, I really wished I had done it years before and just gotten it off my mind and her out of so much risk.

With a tiny dog of only 3 lbs., you really do worry but I'd tend to think a female almost 2 lbs. heavier should have even less chances of anesthesia problems, wouldn't you think? Of all the people I know who have Yorkies, none has had a problem with the spay. I think it is a very safe procedure now days.
