My 5lb yorkie-poo is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow and I am very worried about it. She has to be spayed, have teeth extracted, all 4 paws have to be fixed surgically (nail growth problem), and she has to be completely shaved to check a growth on her hip, which they may surgically remove if need be.
The vet has to do everything at once because she was knocked out before we got her and due to complications related to that, they don't want to put her under again. It will be a long surgery and she will have pain all over her body when she wakes up.
She really needs to have these things done because she has an infection, but I'm very concerned about her recovery.
Do you think a small dog can handle it? I'm going to request pain killers for her, but other than that, what can I do to help relieve her pain?
