Hi - I was just responding to another thread about treating watery eyes with Benadryl. I responded that I dont' recommend treating a chronic condition like watery eyes without your vet's guidance. Benadryl shud be used for more acute allergies.
Anyway-I wanted to ask this forum if anyone else has watery eye issues caused by an internal eye-lash. On my last checkup with the vet - we found that Rocco has 1 tiny internal eyelash (found on his upper lid, internal rim - I saw this for myself using my vet's special magnifying eye gear). It is short, but quite thick in diameter (looked like the hair that grows on his body). They said this can cause eye injury if not removed. They want to wait another few months to make sure no other eye lashes grown in - and then we are to schedule surgery.
Of course - I hate to have surgery - but I also hate to think of the pain and discomfort the eye is causing.
Anyone else have this problem or experience with this?
