I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post an update on little Violet.
Long story short, they think she DID NOT swallow anything, after all. They think it was an anomaly because when they went to x-ray her before the endoscopy, there was nothing there! Nor was it farther down in her, and she hadn't pooed or vomited anything up. Weird. Sooo.... we were back to square one and not knowing what was wrong.
I was so frustrated! They repeated the tests for Giardia (this time doing the ELISA test) and crypto, both were negative. It seems they have ruled out every reasonable ailment. They did also rule out IBD, only because she is really too young and because they did intestinal biopsies which were completely normal (in IBD, there are other cells that have infiltrated the intestines).
They did an ultrasound and found that her intestines look "very bad." I was so upset when they said this. But they don't know what is causing it!! The only theory now is that perhaps she ate something that passed out before she went to the vet that caused a lot of damage/irritation to her intestines as it passed through. It's possible, I guess.
The good news is that she has made, at least it seems, a complete recovery. She is on baytil, metronidazole, and panacur for several days, just to be safe.
She is sleeping in my lap right now, happy to be home. She has been eating and keeping it down, and is very playful, so I'm sooo happy.
Thanks again for all of your support!!! I hope I never have to post again about my sweet Violet being sick.
