Antibiotic Not Working

My 12.5 y/o rottie Xena has had a nasal and eye discharge for 1 month. She lost her vision at the beginning of this illness. The vet had her on augmentin and then cipro. A culture revealed a positive stap infection that should have responded to them. Xena is frail and would not survive any invasive tests/surgery. The vet said fungal infection or tumor. Either one is bad. My husband are waiting to hear from a specialist to see if there are any other things we could do. Xena eats ( but not as much as before), drinks alot of water, does her business( defecating is hard because her back legs are weak, and sleeps most of the day. Sometimes all she does is pant or make a rumbling sound as she breathes. Does anyone have any experiences like this recently? There was an older thread, too many years old, and I want some new responses. Thank You
