They gave me some antibiotics and more tefamil. Well, her breathing gradually got worse last night (even with the meds). Every time she would breathe she made a noise (so, so sad). Then she proceeded to throw up last night. Well, I took her to another vet this morning to get a 2nd opinion. He took another xray and did blood work. He told me it was bad. Her lungs were filled with fluid. He said I had to drive to a specialist in Charlotte (2 hours away) ASAP. He said not to even wait for the blood work. My finace drove her down there bc I had to be at work. She is staying overnight and is on a ton of iv's of glucose, antibiotics, food, water. They said it might be severe pneumonia or a herniated diaphram. They said probably sever pneuonia. That cannot tell until they do more tests. I am so sad and do not know what to do! Has anyone been through something like this before? Anything like this? I love my baby and I do not know what I do without her. I am so worried. She is in an oxygen tank at the hospital now. If you read this, please say a little prayer for her. She is 6 months old and weighs 2.2 pounds. :confused:

What could of caused an infection of her blood? He said that they might transfer her on monday to NC State University where they have the best team to find out where this is coming from. This is nuts. I am feeling a tiny bit better, but not a lot. She still might not make it.
