W Oxfordshire now / E Sussex 30th Jan 2010!
Hi all, well, it appears that Fluffy was a boy, unforchantly we discovered it too late :banghead: and we now have 2 little girl babies, born Friday night. Birth went OK, both where out within about 25 minuets, vet was on speed dial!

We are definitely keeping both of them.

The black one has cloudy eyes, a kind of blue grey colour :{ ?/ Could she be blind? Should I take her to the vet first thing tomorrow, or is she too young?

There is no discharge or weeping, and other than being an odd colour, both eyes apear fine?

Both are feeding OK, though blue eyed girl is a little less feisty than the other?

Any help appreciated, thank you.

Glad the delivery went well. :)

The condition is known as juvenile keratitis, it basically sums up the symptom you describe - the cloudiness of one or both eyes in newborn pups. In can be tied in with entropion - where the eyelashes turn inwards and irritate the eye - so if the eyes have not cleared within a few days, it is worth asking a vet for their advice.
