Can a dog be born with one eye?

Yes, a dog can be born with one eye, a condition known as cyclopia. Cyclopia occurs when the embryo fails to develop two separate eye sockets and the eyes fuse together, resulting in a single, centrally located eye. This rare congenital defect can be caused by genetic factors or environmental influences, such as exposure to certain toxins during pregnancy. Dogs born with cyclopia often have other facial deformities and may experience health issues throughout their lives.
