We used the distilled water on Joey when he was a puppy. His eyes teared quite a bit and so I tried the distilled water and saw results after about three days, and after the one week I was amazed. We were using it for a while with no tearing, and one day the tears came back. I asked my husband about it, and he admitted he filled the bowl with regular water. It was a miracle he admitted this. Every month or so I would try regular water as a test; and sure enough the tearing would start up again. However, at about 8 months of age, I tried to switch again, and no tearing resulted, and he's been on regular water ever since. Some distilled water isn't safe for drinking, it's only meant to use in steam irons and cleaners, and the plastic they store it in may not be as safe, and there is no guarantee on bacteria amount, because it's not meant for drinking, and has no expiration date. We bought our distilled waster at Walmart, and it is sold in gallon containers, and is meant to be used in baby formula, so I was certain it was safe. It's really cheap too, only $1.00 a gallon. Distilled water has no minerals in it, I'm not sure this is true of water that has been treated with reverse osmosis. Both are purified, but by different methods.

Runny eyes can be caused by many different things, allergies are the most common thing, and I don't know why the distilled water worked.
