What age is considered to young for an anaesthetic?

I'm not too sure but youngest one of mine has had it was around 5 or 6 months for an op on his eye.
 
I think Brian is heading for one, he is 9 weeks old and as 3 lumps under his chin, which may need removing, cant get in vets until Saturday, in the mean time I am pulling my hair out with worry.
 
If they're Sebaceous then no anaesthetic is needed. I have a pig with a Sebaceous cyst under the chin. They can measure the amount of anaesthetic so I wouldn't think it a problem and hammys have anaesthetic succesfully (and gerbils!), the problem is with the skin, its different (or so I've been told) when they're younger and some vets prefer to op on older skin!
