Disease Description: A condition where the duct draining tears from the eye is too small or not formed.
Inherit Mode: The mode of inheritance is unknown.
Disease Symptom: There is a chronic overflow of tears onto the face, in one or both eyes. In dogs with light coats, rust-coloured staining will develop over time. There are no other associated problems.
Disease Cause: -
Disease Diagnose: Your veterinarian will flush the nasolacrimal system to determine if an imperforate punctum is the cause of the excess tearing (called epiphora).
Treat Method: Your veterinarian will identify where the punctum should open by flushing the nasolacrimal duct under general anaesthetic, and then make a small incision to open it.
