Has anyone any experience of a dog with a blocked tear duct. My 5 month old puppy has one, she has had steroid eye drops, which have done nothing, and the vet said if they didn't work then he wanted to open the tear duct, which I don't like the idea of.
Her eye is fine, no infection at all.... It is just runny. I like to keep my dogs natural because I think (actually I know) it is healthier. So they have a raw meaty bone diet, no vaccinations, no chemical flea treatments and no wormers. The thought of the vet fiddling just because her eye is runny worries me. If it was continuously infected then fair enough.
Is it safe to just leave it as it is.... Or will this cause problems further down the line? And if the vet does go fiddling, will it actually work? Does anyone know?
