My puppy's eye looks abnormal and he can't open it. Is it serious?

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 26 days old

Lucas is a 25 days old male puppy. Today I saw that one of his eye is not normal as compare to the other one. He plays with his sister who is same of his age in night. So I am doubting that may be in night she has hurt him with her finger. He is not opening his left eye fully.

Lucas is so cute! His eye could have been injured playing with his sister, or he could be getting an eye infection. He will need to see a vet as soon as possible for this problem. Leaving any eye problem untreated can lead to vision loss, which is why it's important to get him seen. Call the vet first thing Monday to make an appointment. Best of luck.
