I have a 2 year miniature toy poodle. She's in heat.

I've wanted to have her spayed for a year, but I am TERRIFIED something will happen to her during the surgery and she'll die.

Everything I've read says it's healthier to have them spayed. I want to do this, but I am scared. I can't find any info online about how safe the surgery is.

Do dogs die very often during this surgery?

She is my baby. She sleeps with me every night and follows me all over the house during the day. When I go to town---she goes with me. She acts just like a human baby.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
