: Maybe this isn't medical. Anyways puppy is 6 weeks old and his right eye has a pick bag under it. Almost like a humans black eye cept pink. It also appears to be lazy or not as wide open as other eye. I may but him in a couple of weeks but the eye has me worried. He is all white cept for left eye are is blk/brn and right eye is white hair.

: thanks for your anticipated help

Hi Lanny,

It would be impossible to determine what this puppy has for several reasons, the first being that none of us are vets and the second being we cannot see the pup.

Here's my suggestion, if you are suspecting that this pup has a potential eye problem then I would find another puppy. Unless you take this pup into a vet and you might even have to take it to a specialist in opthamology, you will not know the extent of the problem. Eye problems can be very costly.

A pup's eyes at 6 weeks should be bright and clear and wide open. Please find another breeder that is not offering up puppies with potential health problems.
