Lacey is just over 3 months old. We bought her from a pet store 3 weeks ago. She weighs 1.25 pounds. She has had 3 hypoglycemic "events." She has been to the vet 10 times in the 3 weeks we have had her. This is not to mention the surgery to repair an inguinal hernia when she was 2 months old. We have been doing feeds every 2-4 hours over the past 2 weeks. She has been treated for dehydration. Had blood test done for a liver shunt that came back negative. She has also been dewormed. She is on two antibiotics, vitamins, appetite stimulant, and intestinal bacteria replacement... not to mention nutri-cal and a prescription diet.

Here are the other symptoms:

- Not eating or drinking. On rare occasion will eat chicken or pasta on her own... but emphasis is on the word "rare."
- Started peeing while standing up (female dog). Previously did squat.
- Sways while sitting, stares off into space.
- Has a cough.
- Fast/Heavy Breathing
- Has a "Click" when she breathes.
- Sleeps/Lays down 23 hours out of the day.
- Isn't chewing, playing, exploring... or much of anything.
- Has gunky discharge around her eyes.

Any thoughts/help will be greatly appreciated.
