Age Estimation 2
HOW AURATE AN WE BE? Reasonable estimates of age are expected. For puppies and kittens it should be within a week or two, juveniles within a few months, and adults within a few years. Estimates are made by appearance of the teeth, eyes, and bodyweight. Kittens gain 1 pound/month 1lb kitten = 1 month old 2lb kitten = 2 months old ourtesy r.

Slide courtesy r. Lori orriveau AGE ESTIMATION BY EYES Blue Eyes in 5 Week Kitten With kittens and puppies, we know that the eyelids usually open at 10-14 days. Eye colour usually changes from blue-grey to adult colour at 5 to 6 weeks of age. Lens changes can be used to estimate ages in adult dogs and cats over the age of 5 years. Slide courtesy r.
