My first thought was the vet should have even her some
medication to give her a boost. Our's does when we
get them in... normally a shot of antibiotics and a
pred. like stuff to help.


**As a vet, I would never do that. Antibiotics should be used when needed to
treat infections, not given as "a boost". Steroids, while beneficial in many
cases, again should not be given in such a generic manner, but should be
prescribed for specific individuals in specific situations.

A vitamin, maybe - if indicated, antibiotics and steroids, no.**
