I don't think she had a blockage, the food was moving all through her
intestines. If anything, the mobility may have slowed down. But no
blockage was found during autopsy. She was of normal weight and ate eagerly
when I hand fed her. My vet actually thought of blockage to begin with but
you could see the food all along her digestive tract on the x-ray.

Did she ever receive a barium x-ray? Her symptoms sound lot like a
blockage and when they begin to starve, it can cause a lot of the
results pathology found. I am not a vet.
