If Sisi is reluctant to eat after a trauma such as her fall, it would be best to have her examined by a vet. Even if she had no obvious external injuries she could have sustained internal injury in the fall, which may not be immediately apparent but can cause symptoms in the hours (up to a couple days) after the injury.
