Thank you Kimp 5 and Kathy for your thoughts. She is still on Imipenem and breathing seems quite a bit better.
They don't know what the nidus is, the etiology. Maybe auto immune one of them speculated but she reacts well to imipenem really quickly, so there's that. No mold in house. Doesn't rain lots in the desert. Did have flood in the house in March, but had all new walls put in and they had a device that checked for mold in the walls and throughout house and there was no mold. No asthma. I feed her by hand off my fingertips a little at a time, so no aspiration pneumonia. Don't wear cologne. Bathe her very seldom due to fear of her catching, guess what? Pneumonia! LOL. No laughing matter though. If she can find a portable O2 cage my holistic vet wants to take her home and care for her there if they are unable to get her off O2. Biggest challenge today, not eating.
Love, Shellie
