The blue cloudiness is caused by swelling in the cornea from the ulcer. If the ulcer is treated and heals the cornea should become clear again. Sometimes there will be a small scar from the ulcer. If the eye looks like it’s getting worse please take Sky in for a recheck right away. Corneal ulcers can progress causing permanent eye damage, Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sky.
