strange behaviour post speying

[deemartin]

We've recently had our new JRT rescue bitch speyed (12 days ago) she's had the stitches out and has been given a clean bill of health at the vets. Yesterday she started dragging her bed around the kitchen and then humping the soft raised edges of it. The only female dog I've had before had been done when we got her and none of my cats have every displayed any odd behaviour post op any ideas?

When we had a a dog years ago a similar thing happened. Apparently its due to the final surge of hormones after the op making her want to a. nest and b. fornicate!

Thanks for that, it makes sense and has put my mind at rest.

any idea how long it takes the hormones to settle down as we had our beagle spayed in march and she still humps our gsd
