My Penelope was recently spayed and it took a couple of days before she would leave the couch. The only time she moved was when she absolutely had to eliminate. I brought her food and water, but she refused the food for at least a day, but would accept the water.
I think they need time to heal and to rest and when they are feeling better and stronger will slowly begin to resume their normal activities. It has now been 7 days and she is just beginning to seem like herself and has resumed normal activities.
I hope Ellie is feeling better soon....
