As long as she is good health, it should be fine. Our vet does blood work first to make sure the liver is functioning properly and can handle anesthesia.
Sure. We had our late lamented Timoune fixed when she was . . . well, nobody knows, because the pound picked her up off the street, but she had to have been at least 9 or so. She did fine.
I've fostered many older dogs, including retired racing greyhounds, and have had ones as old as 12 spayed. As others have said, as long as your vet OK's the dog's overall health through an exam and bloodwork, the procedure should be safe to perform. Her recovery time may be a little longer than a pup, though, and the vet may just tell you to be extra observant.
