Thanks guys, everything went well with the surgery and anaesthesia, she treats them like her babies a little...but they were very friendly and cute

Ditto! Used to have a papillon breeder in my last place, and never heard anything from her and her dogs were GA'd often for various things. Though her dogs were treat like dogs and not precious little things

I think most 'delicate' breed owners will often think their pet is more at risk than any other, and breeders can foster that attitude. The internet is awash with anecdotal evidence that a worried owner will pick up on and take as fact. Provided your anaesthetic is properly calculated, administered and monitored, there should be no problem!!

Indeed, not heard anything myself either! The only thing to think about is the volume to surface area ratio! Ie they loose heat quicker!

They are no more an anaesthetic risk than any other healthy animal in for routine neutering, so would treat them like any other.
