Hi and welcome Very Happy

How are they doing? They dont open their eyes until theyre about 10 days old....give or take a day, and they dont always open both eyes at the same time....dont try and force them open though.

What kind of pups? how many do you have?

Hi Welcome and Congratulations.

I agree with dela its usually 10days when they open there eyes some ndont open until 14days as dela mentioned do not try to force them open as you will cause serious damage...

I have had pups that have only had 1 eye open until they were 18days old which looked rather funny next to there litter mates that had both open....
