Reader Question
my 2 1/2 week old puppy had a sticky eye and nasally sticky 48 hours ago and i have started him on synulox and kept his eyes clean. Today both of his eyes appear cloudy blue much more so than the other 2 in the litter although he no longer has a discharge. Should i be worried ?


Answer from Our Team

Yes, please have him seen by your vet. Puppies' eyes look a little bluish and hazy after they first open, but cloudiness that's much worse than his littermates after an eye infection could mean the cornea was damaged or is still infected.

Infections behind the eyelids in very young puppies can harm the eyes quickly, and he may need eye ointment as well as the oral antibiotic. Warm-compress any crusts in the meantime. A puppy this young with eye and nose discharge can go downhill fast, so check that he's nursing and gaining weight, and get him to a vet immediately if he becomes weak, cold, cries constantly or stops nursing.
