Well we didn't get any results yet!!! The vet tried flushing her ducts but the smallest catheter they had was still too big for Layla's little tear ducts. She tried to just flush and flush and flush (of course without much pressure because of the catheter not fitting) and she got a tiny little trickle of water from one nostril, and nothing at all from the other. So there may be a blockage or there may not be a blockage, but she is referring us to an opthalmologist for a more thorough exam. The good news is there was no ulcer or any other eye problems that she said can also cause the gooping.
The woman in opthalmology is on holidays tihs week (we know her, she is friends with my husband!) so we will make an appointment next week sometime.
As for food and water... she never had any issues with tearing before her surgery (she was 4 years old at that time) and nothing has changed in her diet at all, so I think it must be something else. She does have food allergies and for the first two years of her life it took me ages to find a food that would work for her! Even when she did have symptoms in those first years, it was just chewing at her feet and tons of ear infections.
My fingers are crossed that the opthalmology team can get to the bottom of the issue!
