How far are you from Michigan State (nothing bad about your vet at all but they could do an ultrasound there which makes it FAR easier to do surgery like that)
I've seen obstructions cause that -- however, I'd probably also want him to check out pancreatitis ALSO (and yeah something like that can all of a sudden zoom forward if the body is a bit weak trying to deal WITH an obstruction).
Way back 35+ years ago when my old Prissy got sick -- I was SURE it was an obstruction (because she'd found KFC chicken bones in a gutter) .... and in the emergency the vet told me to give her mineral oil (bc we thot it was chicken bones).
Apparently whatever initially caused the obstruction actually was overwhelmed by the pancreatitits.
I'm not saying not to treat as an obstruction -- but whatever she ingested COULD have caused the other symptoms too.
You might want to call and see if neighbors have left out warfarin -- or even roach traps or something chemical.
They typically treat warfarin poisoning with Vit K -- pretty big doses of it.
Gosh -- good thots and prayers FOR SURE. I am SO sorry -- and holler if I can help in ANY way.
