Hey all, some of you asked for an update about my cat. I was able to pick her up today -she spent 3 nights in the animal hospital. also, the estimate was about 30% high, so I actually got some credit back, which is fantastic ofc. I'm just happy to have her home:
she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which explains why she's so petite. (keep eating, dont gain weight) she'll have to take pills twice/day for the rest of her life, but it's manageable. she also has an upper respiratory infection, so I have antibiotics for her. this was close to the best-cased scenario, considering she was almost completely unable to breath/on oxygen for like 2days straight.
also, when I adopted her, she had no teeth, and I was told she was 5. (I've had her for 3 years) one of the vets there actually thinks she's as old as 15 (12 to 15), which would explain a lot of the health defects. and, frankly, makes me far happier, since I know she's lived a longer life.

Pro tip: if she's being a bitch about taking her pill, crush them up and mix them into some of this:

It's a paste which cats go absolutely bananas for, she will definitely chow down on her pills when mixed with this stuff. Might not be necessary until she gets a bit older though.
