I would expect her to be feeling a lot brighter tomorrow morning. Some vets send their dogs home with pain relief, some say pain is natures way of keeping the dog quiet and allowing the wound to heal better. Personally, I'd rather take responsibility for keeping the dog quiet by management (crate and on lead excercise only) and see them comfortable. If she's still very subdued in the morning, I'd have a word with your vet about some pain relief for her.
