The cervix may have closed making it a "closed pyometra" in which case they get more sick. She could also have septicemia where the bacteria is now in her bloodstream. Please take her for help. This is not likely something that is going to go away with amoxicillin. There are plenty of low cost spay/neuter clinics that will do surgery on a pyometra. There are also plenty of organization that offer financial help to people that need to pay vet bills.
