My 1 year old puppy has a white film thing covering his pupil on his left eye. He wasn’t able to open his left eye until yesterday. I don’t know what is wrong with him so any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

I am sorry to hear about Grizzly. I would be concerned about a possible corneal ulcer or edema. He should see the vet as soon as possible because eyes are very delicate and need to be treated aggressively.
