Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Eye changes are very hard to evaluate just based on a picture. I do not see anything too concerning on this picture. However, if you are able to see something concerning and more importantly, if your pup seems bothered by it and seems uncomfortable, I recommend that you have your veterinarian take a look to make sure there is nothing concerning like a corneal ulcer or anterior uveitis going on. Good luck!

    Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A grey cloud over the eye could be many things. If you post a picture it would help us narrow it down for you. Possible causes include: ulcer of the cornea, edema (swelling/fluid) in the cornea, infection in the front chamber of the eye, discharge on the outside of the eye (eye goobers, from infection or normal), nuclear sclerosis (normal age change of the lens), cataracts, lens luxation, glaucoma, etc. Try posting a picture for us to see. Thanks and I hope Tuxedo is feeling ok. If he is squinting, or seems painful at all, then I recommend taking him to a vet right away. Best of luck with Tuxedo!
