Would an underweight dog be at more risk during surgery? General Dog Discussions
My two dogs and cat are being spayed today. One dog and the cat, I'm not worried about, but I've been losing sleep over the other one all week. She was the runt of the litter. She's always been skinny. She eats just the same as the other but she just doesn't put the weight on, and the vets can find nothing wrong with her.They will be 1 on Feb 22nd.She's also always been a lazy, dopey dog. She's literally a furry baby she can be so pathetic at times. Of course I'll ask at the vet if she'll be ok, and won't put her in if they say she'll be more at risk of dying during the op, but I'd also like some views before I take them.
