Red face Im being such a worry wart.

I just read that small breed dogs, like Yorkies have bad reactions to Anethstetic(sp?) more so than any other dogs. Is there any truth to this? Because i am freaking out right now because keely will have to be spayed within 5 months of buying her. I am stressed to the max about this and ive still got 5 months before we have to get her spayed!! Im such a worry wart already!:sad:

im sure the vet will know all about small breeds and putting them under for surgery.

i dont know the answer, but its probably good youre concerned already.


i was horrified of hip displaysia in my dog so i had xrays done when he was neutered.

200 bucks, but a bit of peace of mind for now at least.

lol, babymomma we're gonna have to sedate you soon aren't we. yes a vet will know the proper amount to give your baby. They usually go by the dogs weight. K stop worrying now, or when puppy comes your gonna be too tired to appreciate her.

in her defense babymomma is 15yrs old and has never had a puppy before, so she's a little excited at the moment. Wait til she has to get up in the middle of the night and steps in poop or a puddle, she'll calm down.

Yep, sedating sounds good to me aslan! .. I havent slept in the last week so i'll be too tired anyways! But not too tired to not appreciate her
