Hi Aija,
I just checked the FHL archives and it sounds like it could be Juvenile Lymphoma. I have taken an exerp from one of the letters there and copied it below. If this is what it is I don't think there is any cure. I lost one to JL when she was 16 months old.
I hope you find out it is something treatable.
Prayers and hugs
Lynne and the brats
<<<<"If your vet is truly stubborn point out that there are 4 indicators of Juvenile Lymphoma
(coughing, ascites, extreme lethargy and young age) and say that you would like chest x-rays
to check the thymus. (Doing so will also spot most cases of the other two problems).
Otherwise, find a vet who will do the needed testing.">>>>>>
