I'm sure you have very good doctors. The fluid coming from her eyes is developed by the body for some reason. Since the eye specialist cannot find a physical reason for the tearing there has to be something in the body producing it. Just as there are eye specialists there are also allergy specialists. It is kind of a complicated process to pinpoint one particular thing that is upsetting the natural balance of the body. Allergists do it with a series of tests but they also do trial and error. When the body is being stressed by a substance it will sometimes release histamine which causes the body to over produce the kind of fluid you are seeing. Changing to a limited ingredient food for dog's with sensitivities may help. You may be able to find the cause by trial and error as many owners do.
