it wasn't right away, but within a couple weeks. I was too poor at the time to have an autopsy and we buried her. Not sure if it was related to the surgery or not, but no other real explanation.

Around here they won't spay while animals are in obvious heat and it is extra $ if they are bred. Must be a bit of risk for either case so that may have contributed too. Sorry you lost your new friend and the money too. I sure know how it goes.
