My gelding had a watering type eye, and I flushed his nasclacrimal duct yesterday evening. Hopefully this will help him. I could not see anything in his eye, so hopefully the duct was just stopped up. I used a 20cc syringe with a small flexible hose attached to the end. The duct is a small opening in the nose. We filled the syringe with a saline solution bought from the grocery store, and while I held his head, my wife injected the solution into the duct until it started flowing from the tear duct in his eye. I think she put about 10 - 12cc in him.
I checked him this morning and he was grazing. The eye looked a little better than the day before. -----------------------------------
