So I would maybe ask about extending the antibiotic longer, if it was only for a week (say two weeks total) or trying a different antibiotic. Extending it would be best first if she only had it a week. How much weight has she lost? Is she reasonably well otherwise and still eating and drinking? Are her teeth ok? Either way I'd give her softened food and fatten her up a bit with high calorie treats - unless she is not interested in them.
It is up to you how far you take it but I think I'd like to try the antibiotic a little longer. Is she a dwarf or a Syrian?

The vet is the only vet in the area who takes in hamsters. She does have a sound from the respiratory tract, I did film her and showed it to the vet. She have a weight at 35 gr. She is a dwarf. I might do take her uber out of the cage,so it becomes easier for me to look at her, how much she eats.
