My 2-week-old puppy's eyes are still closed. Is Similasan safe?

Question

Hopefully last question of the day. One of my puppies(17 days old) are keeping their eyes closed. She will open them sometimes, when there is a loud noise. She is eating great and acting normal, my question is can I use similasan to see if that helps with her eyes? Thank you in advance. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 17 days old

Hello, she may still be working on opening her eyes on her own and is just a little slower than the rest of the clan. I would not recommend putting anything in her eyes as it could be detrimental to any condition she may have. If she does not open her eyes readily or of she develops any discharge, scratches at her face, is not eating or drinking, then I would have her evaluated by a veterinarian. Hope this helps and best of luck.
