one weepy eye?

[Thorsmomma]

Anyone have experience, or know of a dog with just one weepy eye? Harry seems to have one eye that is just sooo runny. His other eye has minimal goopiness (or tears, I guess you could call it). Just wondering what may be causing this. Thor doesn't have any problems with "tears" or "goopy eyes" so this is my first exposure. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

My grandmother's yorkie has one weepy eye. Her vet told her that it was caused by a clogged tear duct that could only be corrected through surgery. But surgery is not necessary and the clogged tear duct won't hurt them...it is just a little inconvenient bc it makes the eye weepy.

Oh thanks Rebecca! I was wondering about that!?! That often happens in human babies, but just as often corrects it's self. But anyhow, that's good to know!

My grandmother's yorkie is now almost 8 years old and Lucy's eye has definately seemed to clear up with age. It is not nearly as weepy as I remember it being in the past.
