Do you have any advice about her scared ?
You have to give her time. She's recovering from recent surgery and dealing with a new home and new people. Be patient. Keep spending time with her, talk quietly, try to engage her in play, let her come to you. She needs to learn that she can trust you and there's no way to know how long that is going to take.

She had the surgery 7 days ago.

I suppose she get the intubated surgery with gas for the anesthésie.

I will take an appointement with my vet for thurdays.

Has she eaten or drank at all? She may just be very scared and stressed...Witchy gave you the correct advice...just be patient, try to just sit in the room and talk to her without trying to play...then maybe take out a wand toy and try to play after a couple of days...

I'm finally at home!

The history! The appointment was at 6h40. I closed the door at my apartment, something wrong and the door broken up in my face. I can't enter in my home and i need to go to the appointment. Many calls, try to find someone who can open my door during i'm going to see the vet. Finally, the housekeeper find someone at 20h00 to open my door...

At the vet, jazmine received a radio X. The vet was afraid she have a pneumonia because she breading very strongly, but all is fine. It the first time she ear something like that without an issue. She receive two seringue of water in her neck, and i have 2 more with me for tomorrow if she dont drink or eat. I also buy more food to stimulate her to eat.

I also have some pain killer for her throat.

Jazmine is a healthy 6 lbs girl, her stich is all gone.

I relieved that there isn't anything seriously wrong with Jazmine. It sounds as though you had a bit of a stressful day and I'm sure you're happy it's over. Relax, have a glass of wine and something yummy to eat.

As Witchy says, that was a stressful day.

The subcutaneous fluids (the water in her neck) will help her feel better. When a cat gets dehydrated they don't want to eat or drink and so it just gets worse...so just rehydrating her that way should perk her up some.

What pain killer did they give you for her? I hope she feels better soon and is tempted to eat. Are you trying the same foods as she was used to eating? Can you get chicken baby food where you are? I know we have it in the US but not in the UK (nor Australia) so wasn't sure about Canada. First stage baby food will just be chicken and water so is safe for cats and there is something about it that is very tempting. If you warm it and offer a spoon of it most cats will lick it off. If she seems not to want to, it can also be syringed but sometimes just dabbing some on their chin they will lick that off and then continue to lick at the spoon, it's just getting them started...

I hope all goes better for you now! Agreed with Witchy that a glass of wine seems deserved!
