[QUOTE=Desiree1027;2267524]I am very very interested in the acid reflux info. What makes you think she has it and I would love to hear what the vet says. I think Desiree has it and now I think she has ulcers. She's also a worrier.

The tear duct thing is interesting. How big are the ones with the problem and how big are the ones without it? My two both have it and it's constant. The smaller 2 3/4 lb one's face gets so crusty along that path of the tears that you'd swear she had a stick stuck in her hair. The bigger one at 3 1/4 lb, hers runs all day as long as she's active.

I was told by a groomer that they sweat from the bridge of their nose, maybe it is accurate because it always gets more severe when they are running around like crazy.

I posted that before asking if anyone else heard it. But no one replied.[/QUOT

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT DOGS DON'T HAVE SWEAT GLANDS THATS WHY THEY PANT WHEN THEY ARE HOT.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE HAIR ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE VERY HAIRY ON THE BRIDGE OF THERE NOSES CAN IRRITATE MORE AND THEY NEED TO HAVE THESE CLIPPED DOWN TO THE NOSE. I HAVE HEARD OF TEAR DUCTS BEING IMMATURE. WHEN IT COMES TO EYES I DON'T SPEDULATE AND I GET MY VETS OPINION AND THEY HAVE A SPECIALIST THAT COMES THROUGH EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE SO THAT IS CONVENIENT.
