What's on his eye? 8 week old puppy.
I'm a little concerned about my 8 week old's right eye. We just got him Christmas Eve, and I noticed in the corner of his right eye, his eyelid (or something. It's a thin milky white..something. Yeah, clearly I'm not well versed on puppy parts) is covering a portion of his eye, so he sort of looks cockeyed. It doesn't appear to be inflamed, red etc, nor does it bother him. I don't know if this is some precursor to cherry eye or something, or if it's common and will go away no it's own. I'm including a picture that I HOPE illustrates what I'm talking about, it's hard getting a still shot of this dog!

Join the club LOL, Petunia looks to either side of the wall, not straight, they have a membrane under the eyes it's nothing to be concerned with

It's his third eyelid, also called a haw.
They can be black or white in color, white is more noticeable. Looks perfectly normal to me.

Lynne nailed it. Your puppy just has an unpigmented haw. Normal and nothing to worry about.

Thanks guys! We had a vet visit today anyway, so I mentioned it and they said 3rd eyelid, but we need to monitor it since they're prone to cherry eye, but aside from his ear infection, he's perfectly healthy! Pretty obvious I haven't owner a dog (let alone PUPPY) in over a decade!

Yep Jaxon has one too. Took himn to the vet for it and laughed because I was so uneducated about it. Its very noticable when it's white.
