I have a hen, bluey that went to the vet for Ascites. She now has a purple comb and is slowing down. She’s on meds , but I’m afraid she’s nearing the end. Please help

I'm sorry to hear that Bluey is not doing well.

What medication did the Vet put her on?
Did the Vet drain fluid from her abdomen?

The comb turning color could be an indication that she's in decline, but I'd see how she does with the medication. She may have gotten a little stressed with the visit as well and will come around after a little rest.

See that she's drinking and encourage her to eat. Check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight.

Fluid in the abdomen (symptom called Ascites) can be due to organ failure/dysfunction and sometimes accompanies reproductive disorders.

She’s on loxicom for ant-inflammatory , and an antibiotic as well. She went to the vet five days ago, and is just now showing decline. She’s drinking and eating a bit, but not much
 
Sounds like you are doing all you can for her.

I let mine stay with their flock unless they are getting picked on, this way they can just hang out and chicken as best they can until they just can't anymore.
