In your other forum you said she was 25grams, now saying 17grams.
Personally I'd like to see you post pictures of this baby for eyes on assessment.
Much of what you mention point to dehydration, a dehydrated baby usually won't eat,
can not process what they do eat. That and/ or lack of nutrittion could explain the inability
to maintain body temp. If she would have had pneumonia as long as you suspect by your
other forum she would not be here, pneumonia takes them down and out fast.
If AP, baytril would be the recommended anti-biotic.
