Can your tear duct move?

No...! But you can have two tear ducts in one eye but you have to be born with that... If you do have two only one works though.

What is this hole on your lower eyelid?

This hole is called as lower punctum. That means such hole is present on your upper eye lid also. Through these holes, water (tear) from your eye goes to your nose. There is one duct for this purpose. This duct is called as nasolacrimal duct.

How do you open a blocked tear duct on a CALF?

As in most mammals, the tear ducts are located in the medial canthus (inside corner) of the eyes and drain into the nasal cavity. I would strongly recommend having a veterinarian unblock the tear duct, as you can do a lot of damage to the calf if you aren't exactly sure of what you are doing. The veterinarian will probably start from the tear duct and try to gently feed a small size catheter down the nasolacrimal duct, flushing with sterile saline to help move the blockage along. If this doesn't work, the veterinarian can try flushing from the exit point of the nasolacrimal duct (in the nostril) back towards the eye. I will note in a calf it is possible the nasolacrimal duct did not fully form or is congenitally blocked with tissue or a failure of the duct to connect properly. In this case, if you wanted the issue corrected the veterinarian would have to perform surgery to canalize the duct and place it properly - not a cheap option, and probably not one a general practitioner will take on. Depending upon what you want to do with the calf, it may be easier to simply live with the misformed duct and manage the symptoms.


Blocked tear duct?

DefinitionA blocked tear duct is a partial or complete blockage in the system that carries tears away from the surface of the eye into the nose.Alternative NamesDacryostenosis; Blocked nasolacrimal ductCauses, incidence, and risk factorsA tube called the nasolacrimal duct normally drains tears from the surface of the eye into the nose. If this duct is blocked, the tears will build up and overflow onto the cheek, even when a person isn't crying.In children, the duct may not be completely developed at birth. In adults, the duct can be damaged by infection, injury, or a tumor.SymptomsThe symptom is increased tearing, which overflows onto the face or cheek.Signs and testsExamination of the inside of the noseFluorescein eye stain to see how tears drainSpecial x-ray studies may be done to examine the ductStandard ophthalmic examTreatmentIn children whose nasolacrimal duct has not developed fully, massaging the area several times a day may be enough to open the tear duct. Cases that do not improve may need to be opened by a probing procedure. This may require anesthesia.In adults, the cause of the blockage must be treated. This may re-open the duct if there is not much damage. Surgery to reconstruct the passageway may be needed to re-establish normal tear drainage, and stop the overflow onto the cheek.Expectations (prognosis)Tear duct blockage that is present at birth (congenital) often clears up by itself by the time the child is 6 months old. If it does not clear on its own, the outcome is still likely to be good with treatment.The outlook for a blocked tear duct in adults varies depending on the cause.ComplicationsTear duct blockage may increase the risk of eye infections.Calling your health care providerSee your health care provider if you have tear overflow onto the cheek, because a tumor is one of the possible causes. Earlier treatment is more successful, and may be life-saving.PreventionMany cases cannot be prevented. Properly treating nasal infections and conjunctivitis may reduce the risk. Safetymeasures may reduce the risk of trauma that can cause a blockage.
