    Did you tell your vet that she is not eating? When did she last eat?
    When she was diagnosed with Ehrlichia - what were her signs? Unless it's a chronic infection generally dogs do well and many show no real signs at all. The chronic stage is where anemia can set in and it's the one with more risk.

    Did they run blood to see if she was anemic? Some dogs in the chronic stages of the disease require IV fluids to reset dehydration, and some even require blood transfusions.

    When did she eat last? How long has she been on the antibiotics/steroids?
    I think you need to get into contact with your vet. When was her last blood count? How is she otherwise, is she weak?
