Why is my Shih Tzu's eye bulging, red, and cloudy? Not getting better.

Question

I have a shi-tzu, about 6 YO. Her right eye is cloudy blue, bulging a little more than the left, and the white part is extremely red. Have been using antibiotic drops and Atropine drops from vets. Doesn't seem to be getting better. The bulging worries me, afraid it is at risk of "popping" out. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 6 lbs

I strongly recommend urgent referral to a specialist ophthalmologist to assess fully the extent of the condition. Glaucoma or increased pressure in the eye can cause bulging, redness and swelling in the surface/blue clouding and can be extremely painful, but so can many other conditions. An eye pressure check is recommended urgently in order to rule out this painful condition which can threaten vision
