Poor Pickles! It's difficult to tell from the photo, but from what I can see (and your description), I'm very concerned that he may have a serious injury to his eye. The cloudy blue color is caused by corneal edema, which often occurs when the eye is scratched or ulcerated. I'm afraid this is a rather serious problem that really can't wait, so I would recommend taking Pickles to an emergency vet today to have his eye examined. He will need prescription eye drops at the vet least, and maybe even surgery depending on the extent of the problem. Eye injuries like this can lead to permanent damage and vision loss without prompt treatment, so I wouldn't recommend waiting any longer at home.
