My cat had an enema today and won't eat. Is she just tired from vet?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 10 months old | 9.8 lbs

My cat had an enema today after throwing up for 2 days. First trip to vet, they did x-rays and blood work inc. thyroid. Gave her fluids and Pepcid. She was still throwing up so took her back this morning and they gave her an enema - said they got a lot out. Also gave her fluids and appetite stimulant. She's been home 6.5 hours but will not eat anything - boiled chicken, usual wet food, RX wet food or turkey slices. Should I worry or is she just upset and tired from vet?

Since Minnie received fluids today that will help maintain her hydration. I would not worry about no appetite for this evening since she had such a big day. If she does not eat tomorrow or continues to vomit, then I would have her rechecked!
