Vet called me Sat evening. Her blood results were all in normal range, except her Lipase was elevated, which he said would be since she had diarrhea.

The shot he gave her was Cimetidine - he said it is like Tagamet for dogs. And apparently she really, really needed it. We spoke in great lengths and because she got better, we feel she must have had a very severe stomach and GI and GAS issue. I still am in amazement that she was effected so badly bc of it, she was truly down for the count on this one...

I asked about the disc issue, he said we will monitor her. He said that was only 'an interpretation' of that xray, not that it is anything set in stone.

So all in all (and $300 later) - my Roxy girl had GAS

Thanks for all the input and well wishes...I was really really worried, as her behavior simply turned bizarre (for her) and I was fearing the worst!
lol $300 GAS bill - well glad she is doing better and I would gladly pay that over the other options Hope she continues to get better and glad you updated us on her improvement as you know we worry
