Default My Molly has gone through so much(long)

I posted last month about my baby having luxating patella. She had the operation on July 23 and was doing wonderful. Last Monday she started having a little diarrhea. I was worried but she seemed to be fine. She was eating well and was active. Tuesday wasn't too bad and she seemed to be doing better. On Wednesday her bowel movements were starting to be partially solid and I was feeling better about everything. That evening she was sitting on the couch with me and she jumped up and ran. I looked down and she had passed a big blood clot. My husband was working, and I don't drive, so I ran to a neighbor and we rushed her to the vets. They did a rectal exam and she started to bleed heavily. I was in hysterics. The wanted me to take her to a specialist about 1 1/2 hours away. I has no way to get her there and no money to pay for it. I would do anything for her , but we had just payed for the other operation, and I simply did not have it. The vet kept her and put her on IV fluids and antibiotics. They did not think should would make it because they thought she had a rectal tear. I cried all night Wednesday. Well Thursday she was doing better with no bleeding but the Vet thought she might still crash. By Friday she was seemingly fine, she was eating normal and was happy and active. We picked her up Friday evening. She finally had a bowel movement after we brought her home and it was normal. She is only eating Iams low residue, and is taking amoxitabs and metro. The vet is baffled and not sure what it was. Maybe HG, but there is usually not that much blood loss with that. Does anyone know of any other cases like this? I am just praying that she stays healthy, I really was sure I was going to lose her. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
