My newborn foal has blue eyes. Does this mean she'll be blind?

Many puppies have lighter colored eyes that will change as they age. It's likely his eyes will change as well. Blue eyes can occur through random mutations so there is a possibility the eyes will remain blue but that would be uncommon. I hope this helps.

Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Great question! Hades is very handsome! It takes about 10- 12 weeks for a puppy's eye color to become permanent but it can take as long as 16 weeks. Since Hades is almost 20 weeks of age I would say his current eye color is going to be his permanent color. There are many dogs with dark coat colors that have light eyes. This is not uncommon. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes!

Eye color in puppies this young can be very variable, sometimes appearing completely black when first opening. The eye color is likely to change as they grow older and into their own. As long as you do not see any discharge or cloudiness associated with the eyes, the color should not be something to be concerned with. Just make sure all the other puppy's eyes are opening relatively soon and look relatively normal. Good luck with your pups!

Puppies vision develops gradually between 2 - 7 weeks of age and it is very hard to tell at this age how this will improve, The eyes do appear a little hazy and I recommend a vet check to rule out any infectious or inflammatory cause which may improve with treatment. Conjunctivitis, ulcers and certain viral infections can cause 'blue eye' and a full health check is recommended

This sounds like your kitty may have what is called a congenital nystagmus (fast or slow movement of the eyes back and forth). This is commonly seen in Himalayan, Siamese, albino, and white haired cats. Typically this condition is not suggestive of any serious neurological abnormalities with the blue iris pets that have non-pigmented retinas (seen only on ophthalmic exam with vet). This condition most likely has been present since your kitty was born, but it was not as intense and therefore could have gone unnoticed. I would recommend that you have a vet to look at the eyes during a regular exam just to double check our suspicions and also to ensure the non-pigmented retina is there. This condition also does not tend to affect your cats vision or quality of life.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor baby! He might have been born with small eyes or the eyes got infected and were injured severely and permanently damaged. It also can be genetic or from drugs the mother received while pregnant. I wouldn't breed Mocha if this could be a genetic conditions If the eyes are painful, then they should be addressed when he is older. He may have to have the eyes removed. He likely can not see out of them anyway. If they are not painful then just leave the eyes be. I hope this helps!

Jos's eyes do not appear normal. The cornea appears opaque and I suspect there is abnormality present. This may or may not be congenital and it may or may not require treatment and I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
