Hi can anyone tell me when I should expect all my puppies to have opened their eyes they are 2 weeks old tomorrow and one of them has not opened their eyes yet the others only opened theirs in the last 2/3 days so maybe it will be tomorrow???!!!  How long should I leave it before we need a trip to the vets to get them checked out??

A few more days yet - are they in full daylight or a dim 'den'?

a fairly dim den

That's a good thing IMO. :-)

cant get into this text talk what does IMO mean only just found out what LMAO means !!!!  ;)    ;)  Do you think I should leave the puppy a few more days then ??

In My Opinion :)

What does LMAO mean????

hope i dont get shouted at it means laughing my ass off :0 :)

Hi poppyspot

We've had this conversation before!  :-)

I agree with Jeangenie that a covered denlike environment is preferred, especially when eyes are just opening, and sensitive to light.

I would however, tell you not to worry too much, as I know how easy it is to worry about things being wrong (or not right.)

I had a large litter several years ago, with one pup opening eyes at day 13, another 2 at day 14, and so on.  Six pups in all, but one pup with totally closed eyes, and I had imagined all sorts!  :-(

I actually booked a vet appointment in the end, as I envisaged no eyes, or something equally horrific.  I had a dog sitter here, and wanted to take the pup myself.  Thinking, that, if he had to be put to sleep, I wanted to be with him.  I got home from work, went to the whelping room, and picked up the pup ready to race off to the vet.  As I went to kiss his little face, he blinked, opened eyes wide, and said "Gotcha!"

Well, maybe he didn't actually speak.  :-)

He turned out to be the first to stand and the first to go adventures up the garden - so believe me, there is still plenty of time!

Thanks for all your advise, guess what we have one eye open this morning!!

oh bless now thats bought a lump to my throat bless him..

just wanted to add i had a pup once not opening eyes til day 17 i was also worried but it was fine..your not alone.x

I wouldnt worry either as one from my last litter was late around 18days whilst the others had well opened. I bet if you look very very closely you can see a tiny tiny peep!!

Aaawwww.. I love that part when their eyes open! :) So sweet..

yes i agree i love to see them opening their eyes...i alaways say welcome to the world to them lol
