As far as I know there's rarely such a thing as 'too old' to spay, so long as they're healthy. I know our hospital has done at least 10 year old dog spays before. Although older animals are required to have a full blood panel done to make sure they're healthy before surgery and to make sure which anesthetics are best to use for that particular older animal, and IV fluids. Sometimes they might require an extra night stay for observation.
The ones I've seen done though all recovered just fine.
