This is most commonly from a bacterial infection very common in carnivore young. a build up of discharge builds under the eye lid causing it to split.

 

You need to wipe his eyes very well and inspect the other side for puffiness. If there is any you should get the kit to a vet who can drain it

 

usually the kits eyes will reseal and open again at the normal time but sometimes it doesn't

 

I had this happen last year with an 11 day old kit.

after some research online i found a complicated vet term for it but i'm not able to find the resource at the moment. i'm still looking though

 

what i did was stroke the eyelid with a warm wet paper towel and the other eyelid popped a slight hole as well...with lightly stroking it oozed pussy grossness for a while.. i did this a couple times a day for 3 days ... he had both eyes open fine within 4 days and they never resealed.

 

He's now a big ole pain in the butt stinky poley hob lol with no sight problems at all ...

[lorelei0922 2]

ahh found it.. its called..

 

OPHTHALMIA NEONATORUM

 

basically conjunctivitis making the eyes open...

 

the risk is reoccurance if they eyes seal back up and go untreated... drops from the vet will sort it

[ash_1991 2]

theres no swelling or anythin the eyes are normal just one is open
