I have a female biewer, Kenna, who has KCS. After unsuccesfully trying to get her tear duct working, the opthamologist deturmined she was born with little or no lacrimal tissue, (due to her young age, 9 mos. when diagnosed) so we decided to do the parotid duct transposition operation. It was a complete success, although it was a bit costly, but do not regret it at all. She still needs a drop per day of a calcium-binding medicine in her eye, but we are so happy with the end result! (and so is Kenna, as she has not had an eye ulcer or any issues since the operation!) Good luck with your little one!
