(1) what is needed before the surgery?

You just need to talk to the Vet about the proceedures so you are comfortable with it. Blood work is needed because it can detect iif yoour dogs have any problems where they might be at risk for anesthia. It will also help put your mind at ease with the surgery

(2) Do I need to do blood work before the surgery?

yes I have explained why above

(3) What anesthesia is preferred?

You want either isoflourine or sevroflorine. No Barbituates.

(4) Alot of people talk about extracting their baby's teeth the same day they are being neutered (why put them on anesthesia for the second time). How would i know if my baby need teeth extration?

Chachi was neutered at 7 moonths and My vet was able to tell what teeth were probably not going to come out on their own and needed to be extracted. Talk to your vet aabout this before the surgery

(5) At wat age is safe to have your yorkie neutered.

Some people have had it done as early as 4 months but it is 6 months when most get it done

(6) Is it required for yorkies to stay overnight?

Talk to your Vets on this. They all do things differently. Chachi didnt have to stay overnight but i know other members on here whose vets ket their dog overnight

(7) What does it cost for most of you who had this procedure of neutering?

It was $110 for me. He didnt charge me foor the tooth extractions. I also paid $35 and had him microchipped. If you want to get your dog microchiped doing it when you do the neutering is a good time

(8) Did anyone of you have pain medication for your yorkies?

Yes I had pain medicine but not all vets give it soo you may have to ask for it. I found it beneficial to have it. I know it seems like alot but try not to worry too much. My Chachi came back from his neuter as if nothing had happened. The hardest part was keeping him calm and not jumping after the neuter
