Poor Chispa! She does sound like she is feeling ill. Anorexia and lethargy are very general signs of illness, and could be caused by infection, injury, systemic illness, or inflammation. I would recommend taking her into the vet in the morning for an exam. If she develops other signs overnight, such as vomiting, I would take her into a vet immediately.
