I tryed to do a search but I did not find anything. I have a 10wk old pup, I have question regarding his rt eye.

I've noticed that his Rt eye is not centered, I wanted to know if this is normal? Does it fix its self?

Thanks in advance.

Wow....i don't have a clue! I would ask your vet and get some feedback from there! BTW...welcome to BW....this is a great site!

It may be that his third eyelid is unpigmented (white) rather than dark and makes his eye look like its looking off to the side. My white male has white haws (third eyelid) and especially when tired it looks like he is looknig off to the side with each eye. Probalby nothing to worry about at all. That would be my guess as to what it is. Can have your vet check it out to be sure.

This is true, I thought the same thing about my fawn and the closer I looked I noticed that one of her haws was white and the other black. Take a closer look. Hopefully that's all it is.

Yeah it looks like he is looking off to the side. I asked the vet about she said his eyes are fine. She did a quick test, but it still doesn't look like many pics that i've seen.

I wish I could show you a picture of Jasmine, in the pictures you can tell one eye from the other.

I uploaded a few pics in my gallery, once they are approved let me know if you think his eyes are ok to you.


Thanks everyone

Yes, I think his eyes are physically OK. One haw does appear to be unpigmented, but that's just an aesthetic flaw, not a physical one (in the sense of something not working right).

Is he a mixed breed? I think part of the reason his eyes look a little strange to you is that they are more oval-shaped than is typical of the boxer. Added to that, his black mask ends at the eyes rather than continuing a little way above them (if that description makes sense to you) which kind of gives him light coloured 'eyebrows'. Anyway, aside from having an unpigmented haw, I don't think there is any physical problem with his eyes IMO it's just the illusion created by his eye shape and colouring.

Thanks for the response.

No, he is a pure bred boxer. Does he look mixed to you? Yeah I understand where your're coming from. Every dog looks different, i'm just expecting him to look like other puppies i've seen. So maybe its me.

Sorry - from just the one photo, and at that angle, I just found it difficult to tell whether he was pure or mixed. No offence intended And even if his black mask ends just a little prematurely, it IS present!

Actually, on closer inspection of the photo, it looks just a little as though he's squinting with his left eye. That's the one that appears to have an unpigmented haw. Obviously, I'm still just looking at a photo and it could be for any reason, but I wonder about a touch of conjunctivitis? If so, eye drops would clear it up. That's maybe something you could get your vet to look at when you take him for his next set of shots.
