my cat is very ill

I adopted a five months old American tortoise cat 2 weeks back. Her ex-owner left her cause apparently she was too ugly. When i first got her she was very active and very cute, but she did have a fungal infection. Then 4 days ago, she started vomiting and refused to eat anything again and got diarrhea twice on the same day the vomiting started. Then now shes been refusing to eat and i have to force feed her everyday. I took her to the vet he said she has giarida, so he gave me some medicine to give her and she has a flu. I give her her antibiotics daily, but no hope. she keeps barfing and doesnt move at all. Took her to the vet again, he gave her some injections and ringer lactate solution, and told me to give her low fat yogurt and some chicken soup. I feed her, but then in 6 hours she barfs it all again. Now she makes a weird sound every now and then like shes in pain. I dont know what to do and i cant stop crying. And she hasnt done number 2 since the first day she barfed. she also peed on me last night.
i even let my other cat hang out with her in hopes to make her feel better. Vet also recommended i shave for her to treat her fungal infection better. I dont know what to do anymore. and i desperately want to help her. pls someone help me please.

oh honey, I am so very sorry to hear this...I was afraid this maybe the case, when they are so little its real hard for them to fight off some of these conditions...
you tried dear, and you loved her even tho it was a short life she was taken care of and thats whats so important.
RIP little girl♥
