They dont remove the duct...they make it slightly larger so that the mucus and saline can get out...there is no harm at all to the eyes...it makes the eyes breath better "if you will"..its a very humane and neccessary proceedure in my book..my maltese had some really hard crusty places on his eyes...now he has the normal, slight tear line down his face...much happier dog and he is much easier to clean...but blondie...My JJ had tear spotting bad when he was a young pup, it cleared up now..he is 5 months he is ok now...If his problem persist..you can do the eye duct thing...he will prolly grow out of it..
