I thought I would write an update.

Tootsy slept soundly all the time and I picked her up a couple of times to take her outside to urinate. She wasn't able to walk and I had to carry her. I took her outside again a about 4.00am and she did pass urine but was still very unsteady on her feet. I had to pick her up and put her into her bed. This morning she looked a little more alert and is not so wobbly on her feet when I take her outside. She has barked a couple of times which was more normal. She does not get up unless I pick her up and put her on her feet. She just lies there dozing/sleeping.

I phoned the vet and he said it was most unusual, but that he was not too worried, as she seems to be improving. He said I must just wait for the blood test regarding a hormonal problem that could be causing the bloating. He said only to bring her in if she develops any other symptoms.

I am still concerned about her and hate the idea of her just dozing and sleeping for a week! I don't know what else to do, though.

Thanks for the replies.
