Hello. this is my first post at this forum. I came upon this forum as I was searching for some information about my baby's conditions. I would really really appreciate some help.

Her name is Chloe, 10 weeks old, and weight 1.7lbs.

I got her at a pet shop last week on Saturday and she's been sick since President's Day holiday (Monday). When I checked her into a vet for a health check up, the vet told us that she has an infection and prescribed her 2 different antibiotics (Amoxycillin and Chlor-histamine). She took two dosages of these medication and got really sick. She would throw up, have diarrhea and wouldnt' eat at ALL (not even NutriCal or Gerber baby food).

I then took her to another vet in the area and the vet told me that she is really dehydrated so she's gotten 2 subcutaneous fluid shots so far (one on Wednesday and one today). She also told me to get her off the medications that she was on.

I don't know if these fluids are helping her feel better or not but for the past few days, she seems very lethargic, wont' eat at all, wont' drink at all, would throw up anything that I feed her with a dropper/syringe, runny nose, mucous-y coughs, diarrhea, unresponsive, her eyes seem to be half open and unfocused.

Have any of you experienced these at all? Please please -- any help would be soooo appreciated. I've only had her for less than a week but I've already grown sooo attached to her.

(I just remembered -- another information that might help is that she's been changing locations frequently. I'm from Southern California and I got her there but I had to come up to Berkeley because I go to school here. Maybe I should factor in the stress and shock that she must've received from the frequent moving...)
