I have to bring her back in early tomorrow morning for an ultrasound and they are looking at her kidneys and her liver. He said there was some sediment in her urine so he is looking to see if she has kidney colic and something about seeing if she has bile acid if it could be a liver shunt or something. Blood has been sent out and a I guess we won't find out the results of those blood tests for a couple of days but he said the u.s. tomorrow should show them more. So that's the story so far...she did eat one healthy doggie treat and a couple of bites of kibble by hand feeding her but she's getting chicken breast tonight for a treat and to get her to eat something!

Oh, dear. I am glad you were persistent with your vet.
Make sure they do a bile acids test. It's two simple blood draws and is the best way to determine the health of her liver. Ultrasounds can be as low as 60% effective and a waste of $$$ at this point.
I'd really suggest getting a referral to an internal medicine specialist. Your little one seems to have a lot going on.
