Hi Lucie,
If it is a bacterial pneumonia then you are indeed doing
the right things i.e. Baytril and amoxicillin, fluids, and hand
feeding her. You might want to try Hill's A/D (or chicken baby food)
to feed her until she is up to eating A/D or TF on her own.
The another possibility is juvenile lymphoma with a secondary
bacterial infection. If she does not respond to antibiotic therapy
then it is time to do further testing to finding out what the exact
cause of the lung consolidation and intestinal problem is.
Happy Holidays,
Jerry Murray, DVM
