We had our Netherland Dwarf spayed last week. It took her a few days to recover and start eating, drinking and going to the toilet but she seems more or less back to normal now. Today, however, she started manically building a nest. Is this normal? I thought spaying was supposed to have the opposite affect? Just worried that this is added stress on top of recovering from her op.

She will still be quite hormonal as her spay was only a week ago. Also 'Spring Fever' will be playing a part. Things will settle down over the next few weeks

Hi Anna
The hormones don't subside for about 4 - 8 weeks after spaying, so I wouldn't worry about that
Can you ring your vet to reassure you all is well and that there were no complications during the surgery?
