I am coming to Los Angeles for 7 months and I need my dog to be treated for a closed closed tear duct . It has been tearing and staining for 8 months, I think it is a closed duct, do you do surgery for that.

Hello Lindy Stretch, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we routinely evaluate and treat animals with blocked tear ducts. We would start with a thorough exam to identify why the eye is excessively tearing. You are right, sometimes it's related to poor drainage of tears through the tear ducts (blocked ducts or poorly formed ducts from birth). Sometimes there is something irritating the eye causing it to tear more. We would be glad to help sort it out and find a good treatment plan for your baby doll.

I'm sure Dr. McNabb does. She is a dedicated and board certified opthomologist. It's all she does. They do no general veterinary care. She's amazing but I would call well in advance for info and apts. They are often booked up.

Hi Lindy. I don't work there. My cat is an occasional patient there. Treated her for her herpes eye infection. Very satisfied with their care.
