The best treatment is to have a vet look at the eyes and check for corneal scratches and other injuries so they can be treated with a pet-approved eye medication. Keeping the dogs separated if they are constantly fighting and monitoring them when they are together can prevent further injury. An Elizabethan (cone) collar can be used to keep your dogs from pawing at the eyes as well as they heal, but treatment from your vet is required.

    Guddu has to see a vet immediately, this is not something you should be attempting to treat yourself. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. The vet has to diagnose what is causing his cloudy eye so that the proper medication can be prescribed. Please take him into a vet now. Best of luck.
