What's up with my dogs eye? (imgur.com)

I couldn't find an askvets or any similar community, so sorry if this doesn't fit here.

My dog has this weird spot in this left eye where it's cloudy with what looks like a blood vessel in the middle of it.

Over the past couple weeks I think it's moved around a bit, but it's really hard to get him to sit still for more than half a second to take a good look.

He doesn't seem to be in any pain or bothered at all, he's his normal goofy self. I assume one of the cats scatched him and got his eye but with how big and clumsy he is it could've been anything. It has definitely gone down since we saw it about 2 weeks ago.

The only vets nearby are either crazy expensive or mainly deal with livestock, the one we called told us to just keep an eye on it and bring him in if he seems bothered.

Anyone have any idea what this is or if it will go away on it's own? We're debating taking him to the vet but we're talking $300 to walk in the door.

Any insight is appreciated!

My wife is a vet tech, I'll ask her tonight for an opinion.

She says when it's an eye thing, go in to be safe. It can get bad quickly.
