angel has eye problems due to mouth disease teeth problems. She was having hers flushed all the time 3 times a week at one point for months but our new vet decide to make drain for her and x-rayed her luckily as if she hadnt she would have been alive when her tear duct burst on prob next flush her tear ducts werent blocked they were actually shutting down completely so she now is never to have a flush again. She has eye drops everyday which help and her denatls every couple of months.
