Default My puppy's back in the hospital

Well I got my puppy Sam last Wednesday from my boyfriend for a graduation present. I was so happy, but I noticed his nose was runny and wet. So we took him to vet Sunday b/c he had labored breathing and started coughing. They kept him until Wednesday b/c his lungs sounded congested (pneumonia). Well Wednesday I brought him home b/c he was eating again and running all over. He was taking his oral antibiotics really well. Well yesterday I had to take him to the vet our breeder uses b/c it is free. He started the labored breathing again, coughing more, and not eating or taking his medication. They put him back on IV, antibiotics, and are using the nebulizer (which they didn't use at the other vet). I talked to the dr today and she said he's still pretty congested, but seems to be doing a bit better. We will probably have him home Tuesday or Wednesday. Do you think he got worse again b/c we took him off the IV and antiobiotics too soon? I'm hoping that b/c he was improving at the first vet that he will improve here, but be able to get full treatment this time. I just wish he was healthy so he can live a happy puppy life. I've been so stressed b/c of this and I've heard of puppies not making it b/c they are so tiny. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this topic? Thanks so much for listening to me and helping me out.
