Lethargy can be a side effect of an anti-nausea injection such as Cerenia, so that could be why Sunshine is just sleeping. I would monitor her for now, and see if she will eat when she wakes up. You can try to tempt her to eat by offering her some boiled white meat chicken (no bones). If she is still refusing to eat in the morning, I would bring her back into the vet.
