The active ingredient in thyme is thymol; when made into tea the concentration is so diluted it won't help. Thymol can be used as a topical antiseptic, but there is little it would actually do for a URI. The vapo-rub will probably help her more right now.

Have you had hairless animals before? I have a plethora of hairless advice but I'm not sure if it's necessary haha.
