I am so sorry, it sounds like Lovie is very very sick. I am concerned that she may have pneumonia, and she may also have a number of other serious issues going on. I wish there was something I could recommend for you to try to do to treat her at home, but she really needs to go to a vet. I know you said that she was admitted to a vet last month, but she needs to go back to a vet. Bloodwork and chest X-rays may be recommended to help identify the underlying issues so that an appropriate treatment plan can be determined. It sounds as though she may be a relatively complicated and severe case, so please know that veterinary specialists are available to help with cases such as hers. Consider scheduling with a veterinary internal medicine specialist if you are concerned that your family vet may not have all the resources to best treat Lovie.
