Nancy had a tear duct flush 11 days ago. She had drops for a week afterwards. Yesterday her eye had the white discharge again this was after just 2 days without drops.

We have a vets appointment tomorrow afternoon. My regular vet is on holiday so am seeing one of the others at the practice. Any guidance with what I should be asking and what the vet should be looking for would be much appreciated as I'm now quite worried about possible underlying causes

She had a small spur on one of her teeth filed down when she had the tear duct flush as she had to be sedated. I am going to ask if they can try to do a conscious flush this time as I hate the thought of her having to have another anaesthetic so soon after the last one.
 
Oh no, poor Nancy :(

Scrappy has had a weepy eye a few times now (tooth root issues) and this is likely to keep recurring. When it flares up, my vet usually has a good look for any white discharge and if there is any present the usual procedure now is a conscious tear duct flush, eye drops for 2 weeks plus 2 weeks of Duphapen. So the only thing I can think of is that maybe Nancy needed a longer course for the eye drops and maybe some antibiotics to completely get rid of the infection?

Hope Nancy is better soon :wave:
