You need to return to the vet with her for more or different antibiotics. If the antibiotics are not working, I would go for a broad spectrum antibiotic like orbax.

But, no matter what, you do need to see the vet with her again.

While you are there, be sure to discuss allergies as a sub cause of this.

Let me know if you still have questions.
