My pug's eye is cloudy and not healing with meds. See vet again?

Question

Hi, i got a pug and she poked her right eye 3 days ago. and i went to the vet the next day and gave her tobradex. they didnt find any scratches. it was opening up the 2 day but we brought her to the dog park and when we went back home her eye started shutting again. we are putting in the medication every 2hours (2 days so far). But we did miss a few hours on those days and right now her eyes look gloomy-showed pic. should i bring her to the vet again or wait it out a couple more days ?! Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | spayed | 5 years and 2 months old

Poor Yoda. That I does look cloudy from the pictures but I can only see so much. I am assuming that TobraDex is actually Tobramycin ophthalmic antibiotic. And since you did not mention any other medications, I will also assume that this is the only medication you are using. I believe that Yoda should be taken back to the veterinarian as soon as you can. The reason being is that two days with and wait meant applied as often as you are applying should be causing this all right to almost be back to normal by now. My concern is that there may be something else that needs to be added to your treatment regimen. for instance, maybe you have a possible infection in the eye that is resistant to the Tobramycin. or maybe there is a lot of inflammation and an anti-inflammatory medication needs to be added. But I would not wait any longer to go back into the veterinarian and have them do an ophthalmic examination again. You may want to check for another corneal stain, tear test, fundic exam, etc. I hope that you guys are able to get Yoda’s Eye on the road to recovery.
