I'm sorry but it is difficult to give advice without at least seeing a photo of what you are referring to. There is nothing we can tell you to put in the eye. Eyes are very delicate organs and if you put the wrong treatment in the eye you could make they symptoms worse - even causing permanent blindness. The eye could be cloudy from many different reasons - injury to the eye, viral disease, bacterial disease, fungal disease, autoimmune disease, glaucoma, uveitis, just to name a few. All can look similar in presentation so Chotu needs a vet examination with an ophthalmoscope and possibly some other testing to figure out what is going on here so the proper treatment can be started. If you want to post your question again with some photos we can try to help you in a more specific way but we are still going to recommend a veterinary exam for Chotu. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
