Went to see Cassie twice today. Seemed to be breathing a little easier, but talked with the doctor. She is very worried.

Doesn't know why she keeps getting pneumonia. No smoking gun, no explanation. Like looking for a needle in a haystack. Keeps turning blue at the slightest handling. She said if Cassie keeps doing okay for a short while, and then BAM getting serious pneumonia, gets well and then gets serious pneumonia again and again, they either need to find what the cause is once and for all, or talk about quality of life issues.

Their options for exploring etiology in search for underlying causes limited due to her size and her fragility. My two vets holistic and traditional will be talking. I am so sad and weary. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

She was at the vets and did fine. Home with me 1 week and deathly sick again. I keep going over and over in my mind, what did I do? At night was a little cool, not really cold at all and I took her out for potty with no sweater. Only out about 3 minutes. Cool in house also and no sweater. Kicks the blankets off at night when she sleeps. Maybe I should have kept her in her sweat shirt all the time, but she does not do well when she is too warm. I am so confused and distraught.
