Poor Hurah! I can't see his eye very well in this photo, but any cloudiness is always cause for concern. Depending on the specific part of the eye that looks cloudy, this could be caused by glaucoma, a corneal scratch or ulcer, a severe eye infection, or cataracts. I would definitely recommend taking Hurah in to see a vet as soon as you are able to. He/she can examine the eye using a special stain if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.

    A scratch on Wendy's eye is enough to cause inflammation and irritation that can cause cloudiness in all or part of her cornea. Wendy should be examined by her vet today or tomorrow at the latest. Her vet will be able to perform a fluorescein stain that will highlight the scratch, helping to determine its depth. From there, an appropriate eye medication will be prescribed. Until you can take her in, make sure she wears an e-collar (cone) at all times to prevent any rubbing/scratching of the eye because this can make any existing injury much worse.
