Thanks for that.  I feel much more reassured.  I am just over sensitive about anaesthesia as I lost Lily when she underwent minor surgery.  Her trachae was damaged....it was heartbreaking.  I know that this was rare....but it still makes you nervous about electing to have your dogs undergo surgery.

I'm so sorry about Lily and that you lost her that way. :'(

It's easy for me to say don't worry, but when Gari was in having a GA last year I was a wreck, same when it was any of my rats. There is always a risk, but it is slight. The decision is entirely yours though, and good luck with whatever you decide. :-*

My answer is short: YES, I would! Unless there were behavioural (nervous and/or aggressive dog) or medical reasons not to!

Thanks for all our comments, I knew you would alll be honest with me. After to speaking to the vet, I have decided to postpone the op until 3 months after her first season when she will be bigger and will have matured. I feel a lot better now and so I know I made the right decision.

Good on you Sarah, I think this is the right decision  ;)
