I'm so sorry you've lost Bea I think it's especially cruel to lose a bun following a spay/neuter as the whole reason we put them through the procedure is for their long term future health. It's almost like being punished for doing the right thing.
Understandably you're in the very raw early stages of grief, where guilt and self reproach are sadly very common. This stage will pass and I hope you will see that you have nothing to reproach yourself for. I know it doesn't feel like it now, but you did everything right as an owner. All you can do is trust a vet when they give you the reassurance that they have the skills and experience to carry out a procedure. Sadly, I suspect, as others have said, that Bea may have had an underlying condition which nobody could have known about until it was too late.
Lots of hugs for you. Grieve for Bea, but please be kind to yourself
