don't worry about it. your pups are fine. i breed golden retrievers and they were born on the 4th of Nov and some of my pups eyes are open now too and some are still closed. don't worry about them they are just fine. i go throught this with every litter. it also depends on the breed of dog. but even with certain breeds that the eyes don't open this soon will open. just enjoy your pups and not to worry about them. have fun

i could verify for mastitis -- a breast an infection that is everywhere from extremely severe to very severe. Are any of her breasts not undemanding, contaminated, etc? A vet bypass to is so as though it is so. start with the weaning technique on those domestic dogs. bypass NOW to the food market and get human toddler foodstuff (step one million) in the jar -- the only ingredient merely pork, fowl or turkey. Use slightly on a spoon and furnish it to a minimum of one puppy at a time (carry the domestic dogs on your lap) quickly they'll study to lick it off. next bypass to the petstore and get between the puppy milk replacer formulation. you pick this now -- order extra (a 5 lb bag) of 2nd step from KV Vet grant on the internet (lots extra much less costly). yet suitable now, get on the petstore to get you started. combination some with the beef toddler foodstuff and start up them eating that. in case you have muffin tins, placed some in the little tin cups around the outdoors and use as a puppy feeding dish. Have a heat damp washcloth waiting for freshen up, yet perhaps mom will have an interest and help. You feed the milk replacer combination and human toddler foodstuff for some days, and then start to soak puppy kibble. placed a huge bowl of kibble and heat water in the refrigerator. Use dissimilar water. bypass away for some hours and the kibble could nicely be became to mush. upload this mush to the milk replacer combination (use heat water so the kibble warms up) above to make a heat gruel. progressively transition onto much less soaked kibble and puppy canned meat. not extra choose for mom.

Some open their eyes early and some don't. If they are not open by 3 weeks of age, consult the vet on what to do. They will open when they are ready to open.

Puppies eyes are always shut when they are born. I don't know if what you herd was true, but why not ask a vet about it?

NEVER force the eyes open!!!!!!!! No vet will do this!!! They need a vet if there are signs of crusting or discharge that could be keeping them from opening the eyes....otherwise LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!
