I'm just now seeing this thread, too, and I'm so glad that you were able to find out what's going on w/Ellie Mae. When I was reading your first post, I thought the same thing, that it sounds like something is going on w/her mouth/teeth. We'll keep the prayers going that the meds will work quickly and that she'll be back to her old self in no time. The dental appt. will tell your vet more, I'm sure. Keep the faythe, Carole.
