The cloudiness may be indicative of inflammation or infection. Have Sophie examined by your veterinarian or a veterinary opthalmologist to diagnose the cause. If she is rubbing or pawing at it, place an e-collar (cone) on her until she is examined.

If your vet has recommended seeing a specialist, I would take their advice. Illnesses, cataracts, neurologic changes, and other issues can all be potential causes for clouding of the eye, and a specialist, or veterinary ophthalmologist will have the right tools and knowledge to better determine what it is and provide treatment options.

Yes, I would be concerned about the cloudiness of Bluebelle's eye. It could be due to cataract, glaucoma, or an eye infection. Any problem with the eye should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take Bluebelle into a vet right away to have her eye examined. Once the vet diagnoses the cause of the cloudiness, they can discuss treatment with you.
