pisces730 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hi Everyone, I have just had a pug litter and one of the pups eyes has already opened at 8 days old. I dont remember my other litters opening their eyes quite so young. The eye looks a tiny bit inflamed so I am going to put a tiny bit of eye ointment in it that I have here to prevent any infection. Show holiday here so dont want to ring the on call vet just yet as puppy is powering ahead in all other respects. Just wondering what age other DOLers pups eyes start to open at? Thanks, Maree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Our current litter, born 12/06, 12 days and 14 days. I wouldn't be using onitment in a pup 8 days old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I've had eyes start to slit at 8 days and be completely open at 9. I wouldn't be putting anything in the eyes though and if you think they are inflamed or have pus, then I'd be consulting a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Border Collies usually have all eyes opened by 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajacadoo Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Cattle Dog eyes are usually between 8-10 days. Basenjis on the other hand are just sooooooooooooooooooooooo slow . I have 15 day old Basenji pups here and today I have finally seen the very first one beginning to open . I cant wait till the eyes are open on all of them, they become little individuals when that happens, I think !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
