It possible that Bonnie is sick. You always need to pay attention to a change in behavior. Just like humans, being tired/lethargic can be caused by many things from viruses to pancreatitis. Any time pets are feeling sick beyond 24 hours, I recommend to have them see the veterinarian. The doctor will check for a fever, dehydration as well as any signs of discomfort. Sometimes they will recommend diagnostics such as bloodwork to check for any signs of toxins or elevated WBC. I recommend to call your veterinarian and see if they can check Bonnie since it's been 3 days. I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to post any additional questions!
