Default 8-month-old Kitten with persistent pneumonia - ideas?

Has anyone mentioned a transtracheal wash and culture to try to identify the

Have you tried azithromycin (Zithromax)?

Best of luck,

I have also seen Cryptococcus cause pneumonia in a kitten before.
Whatever it is definitely needs to be cultured to see if it is
culturable.
