Hi,
Tizona is a petite small black cat about six years old who has always had a teary eye. Every once and a while I will wipe away a tear that has gathered. Most often, almost always, she looks completely normal. She looks that way now.
Just recently while touching her face, I felt a very small bump near her nose and beneath her eye. I have a hunch that perhaps her tear duct might be blocked. It might have been blocked for a while because it is very hard to notice unless you touch her face and specifically feel for it.
With her teary eye, I had taken her to vet a few years ago. He checked her over and gave Tizona a clean bill of health.
Before I take her to the vet, is there anything I can do in advance of the vet? And if I am correct in that something is wrong with her tear duct, what is the likely outcome?
Thank you.
Regards,
Kevin
