My Prince Charming had this same type of problem. INSIST that your baby be given a referral to an vet opthamologist. It may not be as serious as that OR it may require surgery to save her sight in both eyes. She may have something in her eye that needs to be removed OR it may be something as simple as her tear duct being too small or closed completely which would then be the cleaning method (as with Prince Charming). We did not notice any cloudy eyes until years later. Cloudy eyes usually means cataracts which could also mean glaucoma so please insist on the vet opthamologist. They will give you complete information on causes and possible treatments as well as the pros/cons of each treatment. Please don't wait. Concerned about her cloudy eye.
Vets are like family doctors--Great group of people but they are not specialists. In this case you need to take her to see the specialist. Please keep us updated.
