Well, after much panicking, she's putting onweight again and has normal stool! I was so scared we were going to lose her. We still don't know if it was a blockage or a virus that only affected her (and not my other 4). If it was a blockage, it may still be in there so I'm watching her carefully. I'm just happy she's acting normal now-- she's eating TONS and is already curious and playful. She is gaining her weight back wonderfully quickly. I thank everyone for their hopes and advice! We're joking around that the Barium was a therapeutic miracle cure. I'm so happy she didn't have to have surgery. (She will have it eventually, but not until she's strong.) Thanks again. Oh- anyone have any good names for her that mean "reborn"? I've been wanting to change her name anyway, and now that she's back with me, it seems like a good time. :) ---- [log in to unmask] (Andrea M.)
