Awesome, pp! I hope she has a full recovery! I'm glad you found someone who can help you.
The vets at my work are pretty good with the fishies -- they helped Mushroom when she started having her immune issues and helped dx/tx a bacterial infection in one of my other tanks. It's tough enough finding someone who will treat exotics -- fish are nearly impossible to find a vet for, usually you have to depend on other fanciers.
