I wouldn't separate her from the others for longer than you need to  
check her out ... at most a day or two ... because if she feels left  
out, she can go downhill very fast.  Start hand feeding her to get  
her energy up.

How much has she lost?  If she's lost 10% or more of her weight, you  
need to get food and water in her quickly, at least 30 grams at least  
3-5 times a day, more often if you can.  Of course, this only  
addresses the symptoms, but until you figure out the cause it's what  
you need to do to keep her strength up.

Did the vet do any tests on her?  How old is she?
