 Tear duct question
I had known that one of my pups- lilly had a problem with her tear duct shortly after her birth (maybe about 3 weeks or so) so I didn't sell her, because I wasn't going to sell a less than perfect pup.
Well, fast foward to now, she was spayed, during that time they also did the procedure to rinse out her tear ducts... they did, and found out that she has her top tear ducts, but her bottom ones didn't form.
Is this genetic (I am not breeding her, she is fixed, so is her mom)
The vet said she of course is a great pet- but will just need extra care, to keep under her eyes dry- which is almost impossible.
The reason I want to know if it is herriditary is because I will then let the stud owner know so hopefully she won't use that stud anymore... I will not use my female anymore.
Thanks
ps- surgery went well for her, she healed nicely from the incision... she is back to her ol' self within two days.... the vet also stated that he believes that my lilly thinks she is a cat... lol (we have thought that for months) |
