After Months Of Worry, Are We Finally Getting Somewhere?

Can I dare even type this out?
For the last 16 months, BonBon has given me a lot of worry at her steady weightloss. This week alone, has been really worrying, and I actually thought I was going to loose her. She spent Wednesday night in the vets, to be seen the next morning, as they were going to gas her and have a better look at her.
I spent the day, worrying about her, and rang them at one pm as instructed. She's was doing ok, they had a good look at her mouth and feel of her abdomen, but couldn't find anything that pointed out as a real problem for her, apart from a clicky jaw, so they sent her home with more pain relief and some fibre plex.
From the moment she stepped back in her pad, she's been brighter, happier, and dare I say, she's even thrown in some mini popcorns. I've held back a bit, as she's picked up before, but gone down hill drastically a day later, but we're now on the second day, and and she's put some more condition back on, and is looking more like herself. I don't know whether the pain relief or the fibre plex is responsible, or both, but wow, what a turn around!
X-rays are next on the cards, but if nothing further can be done, at least she's now comfortable.
This video is last night, i'll post another tonight

She looks so happy to be back home. I hope she continues to do well. When my Peanut Butter was ill for 3 months late last year his weight plummeted from 1240grams to about 900grams & I was worried sick about him. But eventually after sorting out every one of his unfortunate problems and putting him on all the pain relief & critical care he has come round. He now eats normally and is up to 1100grams. He may never reach his previous weight as he is now almost 4 years old but I think his present weight is still good. I really hope BonBon does well too.

Thanks guys I'm hoping we've found a reprieve for her in the metacam and probiotics. She's due to go back next week, and we'll discuss further investigation, I want her to have an x-ray as I'm convinced something nasaly is going on, which may be responsible for all her issues. In the meantime i'm watching her like a hawk and keeping the vet updated on her progress (thinking about bringing appointment forward to Monday to see if I can get things moving quicker for her).
