My pitbull just had 7 puppies like two weeks ago and all of the puppies except 4 two has opened their eyes . Is there something wrong with them or will they open later ?

they should be opening their eyes shortly.
a puppies eys and ears don't ope until usually 10- 14 days some may take and extra day or two.
This is totally normal.

Give them a few more days before you get concerned. If the dam was bred 2 or 3 times, these puppies could have been from the last breeding. If the litter was born 63 days after the first mating, these are just a few days premature so will take a little longer for eyes and ears to open.

Some are just a bit late with openeing their eyes. Don't worry too much ok.
The normal timing is 10 to 14 days but this is not set in stone. Give them a few more days and I bet they will all be opened up.

hi there
your pups seem to be ok, it usually takes about 2 weeks some later by a couple of days, with the ones that have not got their eyes open try bathing them with some warm water carefully tho if that does not work take them to a vet to have them checked, i have had pups that have taken longer than some of their litter mates. good luck, hope this helps

When I adopted a newborn puppy in my old neighborhood years he didn't open his eyes for a few weeks. Some did, but it took him longer. He was fine, though.

well, since their new borns the can't really control their musles yet. i mean like when you see the puppies move a litle bit, didnt their arms or legs kind of tremble?

Thre may be something wrong. If there eyes do not open in a day or two I recomend the vet ASAP
