What you said is basically what the Vet was trying to say I think.. and most likely I am worrying about something that is not a big deal...
I just get worried because I dont know any better... my Vet is really really nice and I think because she is so
Jolly 
I take it as flighty... LOL
With the tears going away for a couple weeks then coming back it has made me think that it could be bothering her (under the fur where the wetness meets her skin... she has a tiny-not-red rash almost flaky like that may be bothering her from it...) so I have decided to make an appointment to get it looked at again.
The Vaseline idea is great too, thank you!! I am going to try that as her fur is growing out but is in her eyes often when she is playing...
I made an appointment for Next Tuesday Night... I can't wait to go to find out what else I can do to help her. My poor baby.

You can use mouse or vasaline to train the hair away from the eyes. I wouldn't cut the hair in the corners unless you want to do it from now on. My older girl had this done and now hers won't lay down good like my younger one.
I would think that it is possible for them to have clogged tear ducts or too small tear ducts. Human babies can have this and sometimes grow out of it or require surgery to open them. My friends daughter had to have this done. So it is probably possible with dogs also. |
