Omg Staph infection

A few weeks ago I asked a question about a skin lesion that was on our golden retriever's belly. That has since healed under vet supervision and I've continued to check her belly every day for any further irritation. Well yesterday I noticed several small boils or bumps on her belly and one was really large so I immediately called the vet and they told me to bring her right in. He decided that it was a staph infection. He gave her a steroid shot to control itching and put her on antibiotics for 10 days. He said he has never seen anything quite like it. She had a fever of 103*, but has been eating, playing, and generally acting normal. Her poo has been a little soft, but nothing crazy. I'm just worried about her and I was wondering what you all thought. My mom thinks it's weird that the vet didn't try to biopsy it. Any opinions, advice, or experience would be greatly appreciated.
