Although I will tell them up front that an overnight stay is out of the question. I cried myself to sleep last night as I am sure she did too. Had a terrible headache from it all day today. We just got her home. I actually met my husband leaving the vet's office with her as I was pulling in to get her. We were both anxious to get her home. She is acting very anxious. I have probably set her back to day 1 with her trust issues. She just crawled onto my lap so maybe I am a little forgiven.
On a side note, my underweight yorkie, Barney, loves the diet food. Uggg. This is going to be difficult. I truly appreciate all of the support and thoughts for Anna.
Just my thoughts, but to truly rule out a thyroid problem which btw can be responsible for weight gain or loss, and aggression and other behavioural changes please request a Full Thyroid Panel be done. www.hemopet.org does do the full panel and Dr Jean Dodds is a known expert in her field. It is not too expensive at all to have done, and then you can truly rule in or out thyroid issues.

I do wish and hope you do get to the bottom of this.
