Bulging Eye?

Oh no..

My blue tang which had ick .. now has one bulging eye.

He has been scratching himself and I think he may have a bacterial infection.

Does this sound plausible and what should I do?

Was it not ick?
 
sounds like pop eye which is usually caused by a scratch on the eye. It will usually go away on it's own in a healthy fish but if the fish has ich it should be treated for that which can be fatal.

It should be treated for ick or popeye ?

I am going to work on getting ready a qt -- I ordered a refractometer for hyposalinity.
 
Should be treated for ich. I'm guessing it scratched it's eye from scratching from the ich. I read your other post and you should really start treating the fish for ich before it's too late.

I would try hypo in a quarantine but you have to take it slow.
There is a fish disease forum here which would prolly be more help.
