I said yeah you need to ask her topically or internally knowing why would u use topically those things as u would use coconut oil topically so she calls me back and says topically lolll i think to save face - no way would i ever give him after a year of pure nightmare give this dog a fatty acid supplement - he vomitted for 8 hrs on a steamed yam the size of my pinky he got when i pilled dd - so now i am like seriously are you kidding me so I am going to probably take him to opthamologist after that I said did she say this could be dry eye ? as several vets came back with dry eye since yorkies are prone and i know in humans as you age you get dry eye and why many people cannot wear contacts as their eyes are more dry like myself so it would make sense and the canal down to nostril is from tear duct as to determine if tear ducts are blocked they put dye in them at opthamologist and if the dye does not come out the nostril then they know there is a blockage so it would make sense the dry nostril would be associated with dry eye and it says the nostril that is dry that eye associated with it can have dry eye KCS
Debbie,

My, my.....it's one thing after another with your kids....they have more problems than any breeder has encountered in years of breeding.

It's time to get the kids ready for their late nite snack and bed....so I'm signing off...
