Poor Nillie Girl thought I was abandoning her this morning at the vet's - I wonder if she's ever been to a vet before with her previous "owners". She threw up in the car (it was a long drive on tricky highways), and then had her little tail tucked between her legs when I took her in. I've never seen her do that before, which I know is difficult for her because her tail is curled. I'm sure she'll be ok, but I know she's scared, and that makes me a little sad. I'll keep everyone posted as to the outcome. Thanks for your kind words.
