Poor kallua. As she has not responded to a week of antibiotics it is time to investigate further. An ultrasound exam to assess bowel, bladder and womb may be helpful in determining the underlying cause and guide further treatment. Blood tests for clotting function and anemia may also be useful if noo physical cause is identified
