My 13 day old puppy had one eye open at 9 days and the other one today. The one that opened first is a cloudy plue color and the other one is normal. What could have caused this?

Poor Bella this could have been caused by an ocular infection or a viral infection. I would have your vet look at it to ensure he doesn't need any eye medications as I don't want it to get worse and it not be able to be fixed. Make sure the puppy is eating, drinking, and acting normally. Also make sure he isn't pawing st that eye. I hope this helps.
