Spaying while nesting?

Sandra

I have one of my rescue girls booked in for a spay tomorrow morning (one year old rex). She was nesting for about a week two weeks ago, pulling fur and all that, and two days ago she started building a nest again with hay but that only lasted for one day. I read somewhere that it wasn't good to get her spayed when she is nesting - is that true? And if so, would it be ok to get her spayed tomorrow although she was nesting for a day two days ago?

Thanks:wave:
 
The day before Alice was due to be spayed I found her building a lovely nest! I rang the RWA helpline and they said it was okay to go ahead with the operation which I did and she was fine.:wave:
