Cloudiness in a two-year-old dog’s eyes is unusual. There can be many causes for cloudiness, from diseases that affect the lens of the eye to diseases that affect the cornea. I recommend to have Marley see his veterinarian to make sure that everything is OK. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
