Please help me to determine what is wrong with my poor Poppy girl, she has always been slower and shy but today she hopped up for a snuggle. I noticed her eye is gray and has white on the inside. Could this be mareks or possibly just blindness from something? I attached photos of both eyes for reference. Any advice is so greatly appreciated.

Welcome to BYC. It very well could be a sign of ocular Mareks disease. I am not an expert about Mareks, but the colored iris will become gray, and the pupil may become smaller. The outline of the pupil usually becomes irregular as well. I haven’t seen the cloudy part inside the pupil except when there is a cataract. You can look at the search page below and see more examples of possible ocular Mareks:

Thank you, yes the white in the pupil is what had me second guessing Mareks.
