Hi,

Did anyone ever have a baby with blocked tear ducts?

If so, how are they corrected? Are they irrigated by the vet?

Can they become blocked again?





Thanks for any information

Never experienced it personally but I have a few friends that have had it done to their fluffs. Yes it could get blocked again. Make sure that it's not inverted eyelashes that is causing the problem.

I have heard of it .........but I have never personally experienced it with any of my fluffs. I guess only a vet could really tell you if your fluff has a blocked tear duct.

One of my Maltese had blocked ducts as I was told. They did flush them. Then one day I noticed no more staining. But he was also given a round of meds. My vet told me if they continued to be blocked that having the procedure to unblock would not be wise. I would recommend that you can wipe the eyes with a soft cotton ball a few times a day...it may help.
