Why do both my dogs suddenly have filmy, blue eyes? Is it serious?

Question

Older female dog and her daughter both have filmy/ blue eye problem, what would cause both to have that occur simultaneously? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 40 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Given that they are both showing the same problem, it could be a hereditary condition such as cataracts, glaucoma, or corneal dystrophy. I would take Shug and your other dog into the vet to have their eyes examined as soon as possible. Any eye condition should be considered an emergency, as leaving them untreated can lead to vision loss. The vet can diagnose what is causing their eyes to have this filmy/blue problem, and can treat it. I would take them into the vet today.
