We have a 4 wk lab/golden puppy. The momma had 7 in her litter and our little guy is the only one that made it. I know most puppies when first opening their eyes have a bluish cloudy look to their eyes but his isn't going away. My hubby came in from walking him last night and said he started to panic because he couldn't see my hubby.

I'm curious to know the outcome at the vet... We have a 4 year old black lab mix who has blue eyes - we got her when she was about 4 weeks old, too and we thought she was blind but she turned out ok.
My mother was told once to get several clean cotton balls and drop one at a time in front of their face. They wont make a sound so they should follow it solely by sight.
Hi, was there something wrong with the mother that you had to take the puppy so young? A puppy should stay with its mother until 8 weeks of age.
Please let us know what happens after you take him to the vet. Even if he is blind, he will make a loving boy I'm sure, and dogs have wonderful noses and those big ears :)
Sorry I cannot help more than that.
I know my cat had kittens twice and they take a while to open eyes and aren't supposed to be taken form the mom til like 6-7 weeks at least it takes a while to open their eyes and even then they don't see well is it possible she was just taken to young and perhaps her sight hasn't fully developed? I wonder why none of the litter survived? please keep us all in formed good luck!
We had no choice but to bring him in. The momma dog did great with the first litter but I am thinking because she lost the litter but him he was eating ALL the time. We're talking about a 6-7lb pup at 4wks. It got to the point she was putting him out of her house and biting at him every time he went to eat.
I forgot to add that this litter was about 3-4wks premature. He seemed to be the healthy one. It was hard on all of us.
FYI-dogs rely on sight the least out of all their senses. they do not panic because they can't see something. All the more reason for you to take the dog to a vet.
He's doing great! Thanks for all the replies. He has a clean bill of health. His eyes still have a blue tint color to them but the cloudiness is gone. When we take him outside to potty the only time he whines is when we put him in the grass(it's so cold).
I used Walmart's Equate triple antibiotic ointment plus, directly on a kitten's eyes. She was blind. She can see fine now. I put the medicine on her eyes several times a day, for about 4 days.
