Poor Waffle, stomach worms can make her feel nauseous which may be why she doesn't want to eat. If you can pick up some Hills a/d diet, or Royal Canin recovery from larger pet stores they are canned diets that are a mousse texture and become a liquid when stirred. They are also very flavorful so she might like the taste. You can also cook up some ground beef, but drain off any liquid fat and discard it before you feed her the meat. I do strongly recommend returning to the vet tomorrow to make sure there's not another reason for her to be unwilling to eat.
