Blocked Tear ducts no more! (Hopefully)


We went to the eye doctor for Sam today. He's had drainage coming from one eye for several months and the other eye started last month. The cause is a blockage in the tear duct so the tears don't drain like they should. The doctor probed these ducts, but first they had to strap him down and numb his eyes - the poor guy. It looked like an awful experience. I sure don't ever want to go through it. It seemed to look harder then it should have been and we heard a "pop" when the blockage gave way. She said it was the most plugged she's seen in a long time. OOOOWWW! He seems to be doing fine now. Let's just hope it worked and was worth all that pain and anguish
