Oh my goodness!! I looked it up too and totally agree with Crystal!
The vet should only have done that test if your pup had dry eyes (and even then I'm not sure how often vets do this....I've never heard of it either!) Here are the symptoms of "Canine Dry Eye" (from an article online about it):
* Heavy mucus production
* Redness
* Rubbing the eyes
* Cloudy Eyes
* Corneal Ulcers (surface wounds on the eye which can lead to a tare or perforation.)
* Weakness or lethargy
And the Yorkshire Terrier is not listed among the most common breeds to have this problem either. In fact, most Yorkies I know seem to have an overproduction of tears!
I'd say that even if she DOES have one of the above symptoms and that is why he was testing her eyes, I would still be looking for a new vet for the simple fact that he wants to do it AGAIN when the test was normal the first time!!!
