Just so it's out there - and I should have put it out sooner but - Oni is okay.
And I was right, there was something wrong with her teeth and it was making it difficult/painful/almost impossible for her to eat, but the vets (a different vet that is good with little animal teeths) put her under and took care of the problem. She also had a swelling in her abdomen that vanished while she was under, and since it doesn't seem that something has horribly ruptured in her, the vet said it was probably some trapped gas.
So everyone if you wouldn't mind keeping your fingers crossed that it was just that. But they watched her for several hours and I took her home where she was already zipping under the table and eating grass and purring.
Oh she must have been so hungry. My poor pig!
And so I am proud of myself (and my parents, who had to deal with me calling and crying at them at 1 am last night) for trusting my instincts and taking her back to a doctor. I know my pig.
And I love my pig.
And now tonight I think we'll both sleep better.
