Post Spay

Well it depends how long it was ago. But if she is still recovering, yes. Her body is still healing and she will be very sore, so it's natural to want to rest. It's just the same as if you went in for big surgery, you'd probably feel pretty rubbish and tired afterwards for a while.

Some rabbits seem to bounce back very quickly, but that is because rabbits hide pain, weakness and illness because they are prey animals. A spay is quite an invasive surgery, so it takes a couple of weeks to recover.

She was spayed on Thursday

That was only 3 days ago, so she will still be sore and healing. If she hasn't been prescribed daily painkillers (metacam) and you feel she is in pain, it may be worth a visit to the vet tomorrow to see if they will prescribe some.
