Hello everyone

Thank you all so much for the well wishes and the suggestions. It really has been a frustrating and heart-breaking at the same time. I just want her to get better. I feel so helpless.
She was back at the specialist yesterday, and now that we've ruled out the most common things, he's suggested possibly a problem with her nervous system, or a cardiac problem, because of the fainting. The next thing he wants to do is an EKG, but I'm supposed to first try take her pulse the next time she faints, which is much easier said than done. When she went in for the scope they checked all her vital functions, and he was happy with everything. After the scope the vet suggested maybe rhinitis as the problem, and the current medication she is on is to clear that up. She is going for a check up on Monday.

Right now we are feeding her like a baby with a spoon, which keeps her head level or slightly tilted up, and it seems to prevent the fainting.
