Help, Need some suggestions,

My Maggie is 16 weeks and has Pneumonia, I just got her.......she is hospitalized during the day for IV fluids and a combo of antibiotics, we are also using the nebulizer on her 3 x a day.
Her glucose keeps dropping down to 25, I'm desparate I'm afraid of losing her.
WE syringe feed her 6-12cc of a/d every 3-4 hours plus nutrical as per vets suggestion. Is this enough?
At night I feed her every 2-3 hours, I don't know what else to do.
I'm picking her up in a 1/2 hour.
Please help.
Maggie's Mom

I am so sorry to hear your fur baby is not feeling well. My only advise is to follow your vet's instructions/advise perfectly for Maggie. She sounds as if she is in very fragile condition.

I wish you both the best and please keep us posted on how she is doing. I hope Maggie makes a full recovery and grows to be strong and healthy.
