First, I am not good at English. I hope you understand.
My RT is breathing through her mouth.
She is eight months old. Her symptoms started two months ago.
The vet prescribed antibiotics thinking it was pneumonia, but it got worse. So I changed the vet.
She had an inflammation in her intestine. Her lungs have become smaller because her intestines have expanded. Her stool is full of germs and bacteria, the vet said. She is now struggling to breathe even if she eats a little food. I bathe her twice a day, 20 minutes a day. What can I do for her?


Temperature : cool 80, hot 85-90, basking 95
Humidity 50-60
