Annabella has a blocked tear duct. Symptoms are a runny eye, the discharge is cloudy and goopy.
Dental spurs have been ruled out, she had a dental today. They tried to flush both tear-ducts but couldn't get the cannula in the blocked one, as it is completely blocked up.
She has had fucithalmic vet drops which cleared it up after a couple of days (treated for a week) but it came back after a couple of weeks. Now trying Maxitrol drops, which are an anti-inflammatory, to see if that helps.
She is back on monday to see how she is responding to treatment.
Any ideas on causes/treatment of blocked tear-ducts?
