I agree with Colliewog...anytime any of my animals have had any sort of anesthesia, they are only allowed a small meal if they will eat it at all. Your pup is probably just feeling the affects of the anesthesia still. If you have to, wait until the morning to give the pain pill. I probably wouldn't handle her a lot though. Cheese almost always works for my BT who doesn't always want to eat. Even if you can get a little food in her tummy it will be better then trying to give it on an empty tummy.
EDA: You said in another post that the vet said to give the pills once she eats. I wonder if it would be OK to give it in the morning? Also, when I had a really sick kitty last summer, I had to force feed her chicken or other meat flavored jarred baby food without anything else in it for a week to get her back to a healthy state. If it is necessary that she take the meds tonight, would something sort of bland like that help entice her a little without making her sick???
