I have just treated my dog for fleas (I used the correct dose for her weight) she has also had steroids too from the vet , she is really drowsy, is this normal?

Yes, steroids can cause a general loss of energy as a side effect, but I would keep an eye on Bonnie for now. If she continues to be very lethargic or shows other signs such as vomiting, anorexia, or muscle tremors, I would have her seen by a vet immediately.
