Temperatures, humidity, and 12-hour day light remains the same, though.

And we've to get through at least 2 weeks of this (or should I wait an additional 2 weeks AFTER the next dose?). Is there anything I can do to make her less stressed until this is over? I don't think covering the sides will do much good as she stays in a traffic-free place as it is, and I don't have any covering of any sort available at the moment. Though I intend to go looking for something to use a shelter tomorrow. I just feel so bad for her when she pointlessly thrashes about in there even though I know it's for the best.
I believe you should still cover three sides. It can't hurt !
Have you considered giving her some substrate that could be changed daily ( discarding the sub) just like you would the water in the water basin.
It might make her feel more comfortable?
Hang in there.
You should get another fecal test 2-3 ? weeks after the Panacur treatment.
Talk to the vet as to how ( best timing for this ) to catch a possible re-infestation
