The signs that indicate a kitten is ready to open its eyes include the eyelids starting to separate, the eyes appearing slightly open, and the kitten showing increased awareness of its surroundings.
If a kitten opens its eyes early, it could potentially lead to developmental issues such as vision problems or sensitivity to light. It's important for kittens to keep their eyes closed until they are ready to properly process visual information to ensure proper eye development. If a kitten does open its eyes early, it's best to consult with a veterinarian for guidance on how to properly care for the kitten.

Common signs and symptoms associated with dull eyes in dogs include a lack of brightness or clarity in the eyes, a hazy or cloudy appearance, reduced responsiveness to visual stimuli, and potential squinting or excessive tearing. These signs may indicate underlying health issues such as eye infections, cataracts, or other eye conditions that require veterinary attention.
No! As long as the kitten's eye looks normal and has a pupil then it's fine. I have a semi-feral kitten who is blind in one eye. His eye is completley gray with no pupil. The kitten and his brother have brown eyes, apart from the blind eye which is gray! :P
