Well my husband called the vet and asked her to come he put it on HIS charge card.
The vet could not give her a complete rectal as her small intestine is full of gas, something is going on but she is just not sure, could be a twist up high or an obstruction but she just doesn't know and we have to consider scar tissue build up from the damage caused from when she coliced badly after being chased by the neighbors dog. It has been four years and the scar tissue could just be building causing issues, I guess it just keeps building and that could be causing the obstruction which can cause a twist. This past January that part of her intestine where that scar is was giving her issues, she told me it makes her more prone to colic. She had been doing so well with the feeding progam I had her on. If this treatment tonight doesn't help the only thing left is surgery and that would be at least $5,000 and that is just not an option. Her heart rate went up, not a good sign, but it is not so high that there is a big alarm.

In an hour I give her some medication than pain meds again at midnight. Maybe then I can catch some zzz's if she stays quiet and I don't have to walk her.

Thanks for those that just listen, I would rather think about the problems of others than my own.
