Regarding the gas, what happened was that originally the vet said it was okay to do the blood tests next week since I did not have the money to pay upfront. After he showed me the xrays though, he then said he would be willing to bill me for the cost of the blood tests which was 150 and after that he did the blood tests.

I called yesterday to get results. He said everything was normal - CBC was normal, urinalysis was normal, glucose was ok, except she had somewhat high but not a lot amount of triple phosphate crystals? He said to get her a low phosphate food - low mineral diet. He said everything was ok however.

BUT - today I noticed she had diarrhea and he said to call if she had diarrhea so now I'm worried again. She ate a lot yesterday and today I put out 2 pouches of wet food - different flavors and she has only eaten about the equivalent of one and I've had to lead her to the food to get her to eat.

Right now I am researching wet foods to see what kind would be best. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd welcome them. She is usually not playful but she normally rubs up against my hand when i massage her neck and she hasn't been doing that since Friday

Thanks so much for your support and knowledge!!
