Anyway, when I was brushing her out today I saw that her left tear duct was swollen and irritated. Of course, I start looking things up on the internet and find this "cherry eye". Well, I have to make sure this is not the start of that... Don't ask... I very well could be crazy. LOL...
Anyway, turns out the tear duct is just irritated because of, yes, you guessed it... her hair!!! Vet told me I have no choice but to keep her hair trimmed short around that area since it was cut short awhile back. And, to top it off, we now have to wear a cone and have an eye creme until the infection is completely cleared up.
This is just our experience but wanted to so if you are trying to grow it out perhaps you can be even more cautious than I thought I was already being. (((sigh)))

Awww, I'm sorry about Maddie, I hope he eye heals quickly! I've been very lucky with growing Jesse's hair back around the eye area, it lays fairly flat..you really do have to watch out that it isn't sticking into the eye area though, hugs to Maddie
