How soon can puppies see after opening their eyes?

[justasking]

Hi, my dog recently had pups and some of them have opened their eyes 3 days ago, their eyes are blue in colour at the moment and im not sure if they can see or not. Do you know how soon puppies can see after opening their eyes for the first time?

Hi,3 days is very early for them to be opening their eyes, it's usually at about 10 to 14 days when their vision is blurry, they can begin to see properly at about 3 weeks usually.Are the pups developing normally in other ways?Is mum feeding them all ok inc ones with eyes open early?Are the eyes closing again or are they sort of 'staring' constantly.What sort of pups are they? This is a bit odd to be honest but without seeing them I can't say much more.Oh I'm a vet nurse btw, have been for 26 years but not seen eyes open this early I have to say. I'd ring your vets and try to speak to a vet that knows your dog maybe?

Lol @ La La....who maybe didn't have her eyes open.....bless. Although I am a pure novice in the breeding stakes, I have found that it takes a few days for the puppies eyesight to 'clear' once their eyes are open.... You'll soon notice the babies getting braver and exploring further, which does seem to coincide with the eyes darkening, or maybe it's just them getting older and braver! But whatever the reason....this is where the fun starts!! Enjoy.
