Spaying is always a good idea as it will prevent accidental or unwanted litters. A spayed doe may also live a longer and healthier life. If Midnight is almost 10 years old though, age may be a factor in determining if she is a candidate for anesthesia. Discuss your concerns with your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits.
