The opthalmologist just suggested we keep her nose shaved really close, and clean the tears a couple of times a day so they don't build up and get uncomfortable on her face. So that's what we'll do! She did say it is a LOT of gunk on her face, but she couldn't find anything that would cause it. |
One thing to consider is that a human or an animal can develop an allergy to a substance at any time in life. If the immune system decides it is opposed to something the body will start reacting to it by sending out histamine or other responses that can become very uncomfortable for the person/pet. Although she did not have a reaction to food or water before, something in her system could have changed after her surgery. Sometimes something one body can take easily, like surgery, will be a sort of trauma to another body, upsetting the natural balance of things.
It is good that her physical eyes are fine. It may be that something else is causing the excessive tearing.
