Cavalier King Charles Spaniels/puppy illness question

Question
Hello. I have an 11 day old puppy. The eyes are not open yet but there is pus coming from both eyes. There are 8 puppies and she is the only one with the pus. What is this and what can I do for it? Thank you for your time ~ Barbara

Answer
Hi Barbara,
I thought that I had answered this question, but I see it as unanswered here.
Try wiping the eye several times a day with purified water on a cotton ball. The water can be boiled tap water that is cooled. If that doesn't help then he will need an antibiotic.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Good luck,
Liz
