A. Good terminology, but your lacrimal sac is on the upper and outer portion of either eye. ;0) What it sounds like you're describing is the the tear duct (there are two per eye, one on the top lid and bottom lid) other wise known as the superior and inferior lacrimal punctum. This area could be irritate from allergies, or a build up of "sleep" in the opening... I would suggest you rinse your eye gently with warm water... or, using a warm washcloth, lay it over you eye and wipe gently (with minimal pressure) in a sweeping motion going down and outwardly. This should loosen any debris that is in the duct, or sooth your eye if the duct is irritated due to allergies. Hope this helps! :0)

A. the lacrimal sac is a fancy word for tear duct. inflammation merely means that it is swollen. I assume thisdiagnosis came from a vet and if so, why didn't they treat it then? It depends on what the root cause of the inflammation is if/how if should be treated.

Why does lacrimal secretion increase substantially when we are upset?
Q. I understand that lacrimal fluid flows from the lacrimal gland positioned on the lateral orbital region of the eye to the excretory lacrimal ducts which transmit tears across the eye surface. These tears (lacrimal fluids) then collect into medial little holes called the lacrimal puncta and then flow into the lacrimal canaliculus to the lacrimal sac and then drain into the nasolacrimal duct. So then, it seems that this flow of lacrimal secretion/fluid increases substantially in the lacrimal gland where it then oozes out to flow in the rest of its path. Am I right in assuming this? So, then, why does being upset/highly emotional increase lacrimal secretion in the lacrimal glands above the eyes?

A. We humans have the most highly developed forebrains of any creature on earth (except maybe dolphins) The result of this is we have emotions... not just primal instincts. We share fear, anger, jeoulosy, survival instinct and so on with our animal cousins, but we also have love, devotion, admiration, resentment, sorrow, and a whole host of complex emotions that are unique to homo sapiens. One of the most common physical side effects of strong emotion is crying. If this sounds completely alien to you then you have no soul.

Something is wrong around my dog's eye?
Q. When i woke up today and saw my dog, something around his eye is wrong. The eye itself is not swollen, but somewhere close to it. I think it's around/ or is the Lacrimal sac. I'm not really entirely sure but it's swollen. I want to save my dog from going blind or even dying so what should I do? Thank you all for helping.
