Dyson has a blocked tear duct that didn't respond to saline flushing. The vet says that surgery involves removing the entire tear duct. Or I think that's what she said. Sounds drastic.

Has anyone gotten this surgery done on their cat? What was the outcome?

Ask your vet about details and alternatives.

Extreme Dry eyes could cause blindness over time. So usually tear ducts are not removed.
