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.
