Slight Teary Eye

Just wondered if anyone had any advice or thoughts...

I noticed on Saturday morning my bun Ollie had a a very, very slight wetness in the corner of his eye. It was if he just had one tear trickle a little way down. It was clear so not yellow or custing or anything and he seemed totally normal and not closing his eye or anything.

He was fine in the afternoon and since but i noticed it again this morning. I watch my two mosters like a hawk so it's only just happened. Should i 'do' anything?
 
I'm not sure but Poppy gets 'tears' sometimes because of her teeth so we know it's medicine time! Does he have toothy issues?

Could be nothing, could be dental related, could be an allergy perhaps. I have no idea, I'm just throwing them out there :lol:
 
I notice this when my Pebs is having dental problems. He has been on Metacam for 11 days now, but on the day I stopped his metacam, his eye started watering again, and he started dropping pellets, so I believe it is a sign of pain or discomfort. As soon as I gave Pebs metacam again, his eye dried up.
 
Ollie has a dental about once a year and his first symptom is usually off the food slightly as he's a bit of a wimp, bless him. He's pigging everything in site still :lol:
 
Pebbles used to continue eating until his molars were quite bad..then he would suddenly stop. But watery eyes were usually a sign that his molars did need doing, so it is probably worth taking Ollie in to be looked at before he stops eating suddenly.
