I certainly hope that your vet is correct and that it is not Myxomatosis.  If your vet feels that it is a bacterial infection than it may  be one of several bacterial infections that have the same or similar symptoms as the deadly viral infection, Myxomatosis.  These infections include the bacterial infections: Pasteurellosis,  E. coli, Clostridium perfringens and type E enterotoxemia.  A culture and sensitivity or biopsy could help determine which of the bacterial infections your rabbit has, but these may be costly.  

Antibiotics may have to be continued for 6 weeks or more for Pasteurellosis for a complete recovery, but she should show improvement much sooner than that.  Don't discontinue antibiotics too soon just because she is improving.  Please use the antibiotics for the full course.
