Did your vet mention surgerical repair? Dry eye is a painful condition for a dog to endure for a life time. I had a pup like this and repaired the eye and the buyer said it was fine the rest of her life...

The breeder had to know of this problem before selling..why would her vet give a health cert and not mention it...I would ask for money to repair the eye if the eye surgeon advises it..if not fixable, I would return the pup...I had two grooming clients who did not repair the tear duct's in their Yorkies...the eyes were always a mess..constantly dry and infected...I told both..fix the eyes or get a new groomer..one did , one did not...my vet said a dry eye feels like you have sand in your eye..and that is painful...it breaks my heart to see a dog suffer...even slightly.

Absolutely no breeding...this can be genetic. I spayed the dam that produced the dry eye pup of mine and her eyes were perfect. What breed is your puppy?
