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?

Well, I know that flat faced breeds like Persians often have tear duct surgery. Dyson is a regular domestic short hair, but he has a chronically weepy left eye. The vet thinks he may have once had an infection that left it plugged with scar tissue.
