Is a dog ever to small to spay?
I have a female yorkshire terrier who is about 4 lbs. I would like to spay her because when she gets into heat, which has happened about two times, she becomes very messy and she spots everywhere. She also becomes a little more mean. So my question is, is it ever unsafe to spay a dog that is very small...

Hurry help quick!
My dog jumped from my arms and hit his head on the concrete. These is no swelling or visible signs of injury but he seems lethargic. He is a puppy and sleeps a lot so the tiredness isn't abnormal. Do you think he is fine what is usually the case and is there a number to call or something?

For those who have emailed (on and off board) about my little Dachshund a word from the vet.
