Now Bronchitis

My poor Lola, with all she has had to go through in the past month, now has bronchitis. She has no nasal discharge. We caught it yesterday at a recheck at the vet - he was concerned with her breathing not returning to normal as was I, listened to heart/lungs at each visit, but this time heard congestion so did a chest x-ray. She has some fluid in lungs/bronchitis. Since the wknd she would get winded very quickly. Previously we assumed the shallow breathing was a pain response due to gastric torsion/bloat and subsequent sx, followed by gi bleeding ulcers. I want to make sure we are doing everything possible for her. She is on sucralfate for ulcers, once daily antibiotic injections (excenel-1ml) and 40 mg novosemide 2x daily to flush out fluid. With the search I have done on here I am very concerned with the seriousness of this for bullies....what more can I do? Should I expect a slow recovery rate, if so how long? I just desperately want her to feel better again and want to make sure we are on the right path. She doesn't deserve to have gone through so much!
