First off, they don't castrate female dogs.

The dog will eat when she is ready, you can't make her eat until she feels she can, but make sure she has plenty of fresh water handy. I am sure the vet gave instructions to you after surgery. She was neutered.

In general not eating for a few days, isn't much to worry about. For more on it, see ''My dog won't eat.'' at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/information-articles-our-dogs-expert-labman-53153.html#post254171

And Tickle, the term usually used with females is spay. Neuter is most often used with males, but the more precise term is alter. They are still male of female, just no longer capable of reproduction.
