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.
