An albino puppy

Recently our rottweiler had puppies, two of which were albino, they were all white, one of them died and the other lives. What kind of health problems, if any should we expect for the puppy. Should any special precautions be taken for this albino puppy? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

albino puppies are prone to visual defects and increased risk of skin problems induced by exposure to sunlight.
don't confuse this with other abnormalities -true albinism can be confirmed by pink or pale irises.
