Unfortunately the warm washcloth on the butt didn’t help
I took her to the vet who thinks she may have a bellyful of worms, and tried palpitating her abdomen, then tried “probing” (if you see what I mean) and she has an obstruction, so liquid laxative was administered.
She was in very poor form after that visit and hid under the furniture for ages, then she came out and tried to get to the newspaper behind the TV stand to be sick, only she didn’t quite make it. She didn’t throw up a lot, but she did throw up 3 times. I sat her in her litter box and she fell asleep
She spent most of the evening trying to “go”, but nothing is moving. It doesn’t seem to be paining her at least.
Her eyes are looking a lot better, I gave them a good wash yesterday evening, she didn’t really want me doing anything else to her, so I left her alone (I think she’d had a rough enough time for one day!)
She perked up again late in the evening and had a play around, she was quiet all night until about 6am, she had something to drink and a peck at her food, then went in the litter box, then went back to bed.
I’ll be taking her back down to the vet today for a follow-up. Hopefully we can shift the obstruction and she’ll be okay after.
I am amazed at how resilient she’s being I think I will call her Sassy, she answers to it (well flicks her ears at me)
(Oh and my bad, she wasn’t on the battery in the car at all, I’m a gurl see, and the only thing I know about car engines is they have a battery and a dipstick)

Awwwww
