Your vet is not nuts for giving an antibiotic! It sounds to me like he is doing the best he can with limited resources. You have been very clear that you have a problem spending money to vet your puppy....I imagine you told him the same.
My guess is he is handicapped because of that....vets are not mind readers and need physical exams and vital signs in addition to tests being run.
There is a reason for the fever....some type of infection and he is giving meds to try to cover anything that it could be that is causing the fever. Giving something for the fever is not the goal....a fever is there because the body is trying to fight whatever your puppy has. So....if the cause can be fixed, the fever will go down.
I hope you can find a way to get your puppy the care that is needed. It is very scary that she has been ill for so long.
