Ah, clarification on the "green poop" thing. My roommate was cleaning
it up when I got out of bed that morning, and said she'd "had a bad
morning" and he'd "cleaned her up afterwards." I incorrectly assumed
it was feces from what I saw of it.
When I talked to him later, he explained that she had been vomiting
all over herself, not pooping. So, it was nasty green vomit. I called
the vet as soon as he told me that, to clarify it with her, and that
was part of the reason we decided to do surgery ASAP rather than
waiting an extra day to rehydrate her first.
Update for today: She's still not wanting to drink on her own, but she
has been eating soup off my finger, so she's getting some food and
liquid from that. She wants to get out of the small cage and run
around when I wake her up, so she's also a lot more alert than she was
before surgery.
