Conjuctivitis in dog, best treatment? Red Eye abovie Iris

Conjuctivitis in dog, best treatment? Red Eye abovie Iris

Red right eye - red (sclera I think-white part above iris) when you lift top eyelid. I have had prior dogs have this. Nothing scratched as far as I know. Doubt allergies.
Been treating her with a med I have had around for this, unexpired but for prior dog.
BNP ointment  - Neomycin, Polymyxin B and Bacitracin Zinc. On day 7 today-still a little red but much better. But not disappearing yet, tomorrow is day 8.
In my limited experience with prior dogs it was usually gone by now.
Is this BNP good to use for conjunctivitis  or would BNP+H (Hydrocortisone) be better or perhaps even  Tobramycin?
Lets assume not viral, allergies and not a scratch.
Try longer treatment with BNP, try BNP+H??????
Supplement also with an oral antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin pills (she is 44 lbs)?
I called vet today but no appts until later later next week. May need to find another vet but hate to switch.
Thanks

Even if you can't get an appointment until later next week, do you think your vet can talk with you briefly on the phone about the suggestions you listed? At least he or she could keep you from giving the dog the wrong thing.
