The vet didn't find anything wrong but did give her some fluids. They did x
rays and blood work. Her kidneys are good and the x-rays didn't find any
foreign bodies. She was somewhat dehydrated but no temperature. She was
definitely not feeling well. She bit the vet which is something she's never
done before. She didn't eat much of anything yesterday nor use the litter
box. She had some treats and ate a little this morning and used the litter
box for a poop. She whimpered a little bit as it came out so I'm wondering
if she wasn't constipated for some reason. She didn't vommit at all
yesterday except for the treats in the morning.

I'm going today to get her some medicine in liquid form. We tried everything
to get her to take the pill the vet prescribed but she was not having any of
it. We tried the pill pockets, she won't eat soft treats. We tried the
syringe that pops it in her mouth. It went in, she spit it out. We tried
the old fashioned method and she bit me. She didn't mean to, she just didn't
want the pill.

I hope she's feeling better and it was a temporary thing. The next step is a
barium series of x-rays to see if there's something that isn't showing in the
x-ray.

Purrs from here also. I can't imagine trying to explain to one of my
furballs that we're going to do a barium series. Still, I guess it's
better than trying to do a barium enema. I don't think even the most
laid back of my cats (Nipsy the Wuss) would stand, err, lie, er, sit,
for that. There would certainly be bloodshed on the part of the vet.
