My senior dog has cloudy eyes. What does it mean and is it serious?

Question

My female dog is 9 years old, and we have noticed a cloudiness in her eye(s). Is it something to worry about? And are there things we should keep an eye on? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 3 months old

Yes, I would be concerned about the cloudiness of Bluebelle's eye. It could be due to cataract, glaucoma, or an eye infection. Any problem with the eye should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take Bluebelle into a vet right away to have her eye examined. Once the vet diagnoses the cause of the cloudiness, they can discuss treatment with you.
