To small to SPAY? Is there such a thing?

[Red_ACD_for_me]

I've heard it before but I have a customer who brought in her 8 month old Yorkshire terrier today at the bank I work for that weighs a whopping 2 lbs :( She goes to the same vet that I go to and she said she was afraid to spay her because the vet told her mother that he never spayed anything that small :confused: The owner is in her early 20's maybe even 19 and she is worried now to get her fixed. But get this her father said that he wants to let her have a litter of puppies :mad: I immediately told her NOT a good idea and told her about her dying while giving birth and needing a C-section because of her size. It seemed to scare her from that idea ;) I told her it is more of risk breeding her and giving birth than spaying her. I also told her to get a second opinion at another vets office. I was surprised by my vets claim about her being fixed because they are very pro spay/neuter and are always educating new dog owners.
