It is very possible it is a viral illness, in which case supportive care (giving fluids, treating secondary infections or fevers, continuing to get her to eat and drink) are needed as the virus runs its course. Making sure Katniss is away from other pets is also good to prevent the spread of the illness. If she goes downhill again, doesn't want to eat or drink, or is still very weak or ill, she may need to be seen by your vet again or kept in the hospital on fluids and other treatment for a few days to help her recover.
