I think we're on the mend here

When I got home from gaming she was still hide-y but her tummy was MUCH less puffy (she had been swelled up like a furry little balloon).

She took another dose of meds, and 2 syringes of water, and let me rub her tummy again for a bit.

She is starting to come out and sniff around, and she even nibbled at some parsely and green pepper, so I think we're past the worst. I'll set an alarm to check about 2AM to see if she's eaten anything, and if so then I think we can call this one over.

Thanks for all the vibes and advice - Despite her penchant for getting into everything this is the first time she's been ill enough to miss a meal. Luckily, when I first got her I knew to get a basic emergency kit together, so I had the simethecone, syringes, and even some emergency food-mush-mix you can use to force-feed if needed. Knowing I had all this stuff in the house if needed made this a lot easier.

I'm glad to hear it. Probably a good idea to keep heavy on the water for a bit, though.

I'll set teh alarm for 1-2 AM and see if she's eaten anything - and give her a couple more syringes then. But I think we're gonna be OK
