Sight and 11 week old puppy

Thanks for reaching out. It's great that you're keeping a close eye on your new puppy’s health! At 11 weeks, it's important that your puppy is developing normally, including their vision. Puppies rely heavily on their sense of sight as they explore the world around them, so I understand your concern.



Puppy vision typically develops rapidly, but some may have initial adjustments as they get used to different stimuli. If you notice any signs like bumping into objects frequently, excessive clumsiness, or hesitating in new environments, these could be signs that their vision might not be optimal.



Here are a few at-home tips you can try:

- Create a safe, clutter-free area for them to play.

- Observe how they react to visual stimuli such as bright toys or fingers moving in their field of vision.



Look out for signs like eye discharge, redness, cloudiness, or if they seem to be in pain as these could indicate an infection or injury that needs attention.



If you have any gut feeling that something isn't quite right with your puppy’s sight, or if the symptoms I mentioned are present, I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets through Dial A Vet to discuss your concerns and determine if an in-person visit is necessary. You're doing a wonderful job caring for your pup!
