So I took her to the vet. Turns out it DID cost an arm and a leg. Over 300 for the checkup, fluids, xray and blood tests. I need to call tomorrow for the blood tests. The vet said the Xray showed a very inflamed bowel and arthritis in her back. Said that he can't say what is causing her not to eat until he gets the bloodwork back. They had to gas her to take the X-rays They then had trouble taking her blood and I heard her screams from the waiting room - they said they had to sedate her a bit and muzzle her and that it took 4 of them to hold her down He said any kind of treatment might be difficult b/c chances are it could be a chronic condition and that her not liking to be held or touched might make treatment difficult. They also wouldn't cut her nails b/c she was so violent He warned me about touching her when I got her home.

However, as soon as I opened the cat carrier she came out and went straight to her food bowl! She also let me pet her. I was so worried she would be angry at me. I was almost in tears at the vet and I don't even like animals!
