I wondered on reading the original email if a blockage had been ruled out,
and from what Mike says above I now wonder all the more. The improvement
could have occured if the blockage shifted out of the way for a little while
then shifted back in the way. I'd definitely ask the vet about this.

good luck, my thoughts are with you,
