Has the treatment been completed? 20g in a month isn't that severe...especially if the dragon has been sick for that time. I would tough it out, feed well gut loaded insects and dust regularly with a multivitamin (once or twice a week for now) and dont' give up yet.
If I recall correctly your dragon had quite a few things wrong with it over the last several weeks, and its good to know you did take her in to see a vet and get treated. Any treatment does add some amount of stress. But once the eye is better and treatment is over, she will recover nicely. Keep her separated and as stress free as possible. Feed her what she will eat and keep the temperatures in idea ranges. Keep track of her weight with weekly or twice weekly weigh ins.
Though surrendering her in to a rescue is an option, keep in mind the move will be stressful on her and may make things worse than just keeping her and doing your best.
Acidiphis (or however its spelled) if I remember correctly is a probiotic..which is good to give after any antibotic or deworming treatment (as her fecels were clean, it must be the Baytil you gave, which is an antibotic). Make sure she gets plenty of water...use an eye dropper to drop water onto her nose and mouth till she starts to lick it from the dropper herself (be careful not to drop water on the nostrils though) ----- PHLdyPayne
