The Vet said she wouldn't even think about spaying her until she was 3 pounds well she is 3.2 now and it just scares me she is so little. I have always had big dogs before. Do you suggest I not spay her and just keep diapers when she is in heat or go ahead and spay her that it is safe for tiny dogs once they are old enough? I know I seem a little crazy but she is my first one and I would hate for something to happen to her. Ellen -- Joyce www.mtnviewchis.webs.com -- Joyce www.mtnviewchis.webs.com
