  It seems that we only talk about the ealiest time that you can fix buns. But can a bunny get too old to get fixed?
  
  For an example, if a bunny was like 7-10 years old and you fix her… Is it impossible? Or the bunny wont survive through the surgery because she’s too old? Just curious….

  im not sure if it would be worth it i think it would be dependant on the individual rabbit for example if it wants to be with another bunny of the opposite sex then it should be looked into however most people get it done to avoid the ‘teenage years’ so if all that behaviour is gone and they arent teritorial or spraying then i wouldnt put the bunny through it really.

  It’s not impossible but it is more risky and you would want to do blood work and the recovery time might be longer just like in humans. The older we get the longer it takes for us to heal. Obviously too this would be something that you would want to discuss thoroughly with the vet. If a rabbit has lived that long not being altered though, you’d really have to question yourself as to why you would want to do this.

  i heard some poeple on the board (a long while back) say their vet would not spay their rabbit who was over two or three years b/c she was too old. other people have said senior they won’t do it (about 6 or 7 years.) it’s going to depend on your reasons why you want it done and your vet recommendation. not all vets will do it later in age.
