Dropsy, bloat, whatever you want to call it, these are symptoms of pathologies with diverse underlying causes, most commonly stress-associated systemic failures and/or adventitious infections. In a fish with symptoms this severe, recovery seems unlikely, and IMO euthanasia would be the most humane option going forward. Sucks, I know. :(

The bulging eyes are one of the symptoms of dropsy along with the bloated belly.
Thanks, I will euthanize her.
