eye and teeth

i took shakira to the vets two weeks ago as one front tooth had over grown and then agen today they clipped them all i mentioned to the vet her eye keeps leaking she said her eye looks very good and its clear liquid so its ok,

would you say thats ok i know it can be a blocked tear duct x
 
I would be concerned that her eye problems are related to her tooth problems.

Elongated tooth ROOTS (which can only be diagnosed from skull radiographs) can press on the nasolacrimal ducts and cause constant runny eyes.

Has your Vet suggested a more thorough Dental examination ?
 
I have no experience myself with rabbits but my friend has a regular dental bunny who has eye discharge related to his teeth when they need doing, so as Jane said it is likely to be tooth problems which may need futher examination. One of my previous guinea pigs also had eye discharge sounding exactly like what you describe which was her teeth.
