what would cause vision problems for a 8wk year old english mastiff puppy?


Hi Ballee
I'm afraid I'm not a veterinarian, and this is a question that a vet needs to answer, however in such a young puppy, my personal opinion is that it would most likely be a congenital problem (hereditary), or an infection or injury.

If you're sure your pup is having difficulty with his vision, I strongly recommend that you have him examined by your vet right away. If he has conjunctivitis (eye infection), prompt treatment can usually cure it very quickly and avoid any permanent damage.

If it's a congenital problem, or an injury, your vet will be able to determine exactly what is going on and get him the treatment he needs.

So, get him to a vet asap. I wish you the best of luck and hope your puppy is doing much better soon.
