I haven't started the second round of antibiotics yet, I only bought enough for one treatment so I'll have to go back to the store. That said I'm not entirely sure she needs more meds. Her bloat is nearly gone, I think her body is just working on getting rid of the fluid. I think her issues now may be the result of damage caused by being bloated for a long time.

This was her after her final day of antibiotics:


This is her today:

I wanted to get a picture of her in a vertical position so you could see her thighs but she didn't feel like posing today, I'll try again soon. As you can see her outward physical condition is nearly normal (she is scratched up now though). After her salt bath last night when I put her in the QT tank I got a better idea of what she can and can't do. She can move around on the bottom of the tank just fine. She can surface for air though she does swim slightly erratically when she tries to do that. She cannot float vertically at the top of the water without starting to flip onto her back. This makes it difficult for her to rest like they often do with their nose above water. This was all as of last night. Today when I just went down to get the photos she did not go to the surface at all (but did move around a little bit on the bottom) so I'm not sure if anything has changed.
