My cat's eye is cloudy from URI eye ointment. Is this normal?

Question

Hi, yesterday my cat was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. She was prescribed erythromycin ophthalmic ointment for one eye. When looking towards light, that eye seems cloudy after a day of applying the ointment. Is this normal? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 months and 21 days old | 6 lbs

The cloudiness is probably due to the infection, the eye ointment should be treating it. if it seems to be getting worse in the next couple days you should bring her back to the vet to get it checked.
