Does anyone have any experience of tear duct infections? :wave:
Billy has had two weeks of Baytril, followed by two weeks of Tiacil eye drops, with no success.
The symptoms are: a clear discharge from his nose and the whites of his eyes are visible in the front corners. The vet said she can feel the infection in the tear duct.
The vet said the next step would be a tear duct flush. I believe this is done under GA, so would I be wise to request xrays of the tooth roots while he's under? Is there anything else I should be asking for?
His appointment is at 2pm tomorrow, so plenty of time to learn from the wisdom of RU so I can go in prepared!
Thanks in advance! :wave:
