"I am not reducing her to her appearance, but if she wasn't pretty in my opinion, it would be game over for her" that is how this reads. Look at the votes and realise that is what you sound like. If you feel and think differently to that, reflect on how you communicate your thoughts. I doubt you would want to tell e.g. a close female friend something that she would understand like that.
Your whole statement circles around the idea that while you agree that she is less healthy, she is still pretty and consequently, you think she will be fine. And that might be a understandable (while sad) perspective from a business perspective but you joined a conversation about her health. By moving the conversation away from her health towards her beauty (a very subjective matter, which is especially important in situation), you are communicating that you believe that a focus on her beauty is relevant.
Now i understand that you might be reacting to other people's comments and you feel like they called her ugly and you don't think she is. But instead of stating that, e.g. by saying "while it seems like she is less healthy right now, let's not call her ugly, that is just mean. And personally, i still think she is pretty" but by saying things that imply that her value is in her matching your aesthetic sense.
I want to assume that your heart is in the right but your words are not.
