3week old puppy, eyes opened about a week ago except his right. Once fully opened say a pink lump on his eye & also kind of cloudy. Almost directly in the middle of his eye. Doesn't seem to hurt him. Reacts to light but can't see pupil.

I recommend to get this puppy examined today. That eye looks inflamed and possibly infected. It's possible this is a congenital anomaly but the appearance of the eye looks suspicious for something is trapped in the eye (hair or or object) or that a virus has causes a painful corneal abrasion. The opacity may represent corneal edema which is very worrisome. It's possible he is in pain so get this addressed quickly. Best of luck.
