I was wondering if anyone has heard of a Red eye changing after birth My Female Suki gave birth on Monday to 4 pups an one has red eyes which is my Fave of the four but this morning I noticed that it looks like the eye peeled its self the eye is still intact and now blue but the skin around the eye seems to move way too much and theres what seems to be a blood clot under the eye. I have a vet appt at 4 today but no matter how much research I do I can not find anything on it.

It could be birth trauma, or a genetic defect of the eye. Or, a hay poke. A picture might help us figure it out.

What color is the pup?

OK. The reason I was concerned about the color is that all-white pigs are sometimes lethal whites, and they always have eye deformities. But if she's not white, there's no possibility she's a lethal.

He looks white to me.

Can he hear? Are his teeth normal? Can he see out of the other eye?
