A cloudy eye could indicate an infection inside the eye or even damage to the cornea. Kramer needs to see his veterinarian as either of those conditions could lead to vision loss. Keep Kramer from pawing or rubbing his eye, remove any discharge with a moist cloth and make sure the eye stays moist by only using artificial tears if needed.
