I'm glad you have been treating Izzy with antibiotics. If the color is lighter, it might mean the antibiotics are helping with the infection. It could be the antibiotics are clearing up the infection, but without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain. It is concerning you are running out of antibiotics, so I would take her back into the vet now to get more to continue to treat her. Should she survive this infection, I would have her spayed once she is better. Best of luck.
