Liquorice has a blocked tear duct, he has had it since we got him about 5months ago. The vet says he isnt in pain and he will probably have it for the rest of his life.
We tried eye drops and antibiotics and tear duct flush nothing worked so we have just left him be now. He seems happy enough.
We were told by the vet to bathe it with cotten wool everyday initially, but when this didnt work he sid to do it once a week.
The thing is, all of Liquorices fur around the eye is getting 'matted'. It looks to me as some of the fur has come off? He HATES having it bathed and it gets quite 'caked' up - is there anything else we can do? We have to really put pressure on to get it off - i hate doing it cos he hates it.... I think we are more bothered than he is - it doesnt seem to affect him?
