a few things: first DISTICHIASIS AND ECTOPIC CILIA. Eyelids of dogs can grow abnormal hairs. These hairs grow from the oil glands (Meibomian glands) of the lids and are called distichia if the hair protrudes from the oil gland opening onto the edge of the eyelid. Distichia are often irritating, especially if the hairs are long and stiff. Ectopic cilia are also hairs growing from oil glands on the eyelid, but the hair protrudes from the inner surface of the eyelid and is very painful, often causing corneal ulcers.

Second- a clogged tear duct- have the eye flushed by your vet and start a round of antibiotic eye meds.

Third- isallergies- I mostly see this in the dogs who are white with no pigment around the eye. Interesting when the other eye has pigment and no isses while the eye without pigment has issues. Way too complicated for me to write but narrowed down its like this.- dogs with less pigment (double merles and extreme white genes) are prone to allergies because of genetics..pigment is neccesary for certain functions to work.

Hope this helps

that could be eye lashes, have you had a vet opthalmalogist look at it? To me, it doesn't look like "just tearing" b/cause her eye is squinty and looks sore. I had a friend that took one of their bulldogs to the vet, and they found a hair UNDERNEATH the eyelid that was causing her eye to tear up.

of an opthamoligist in your area for dogs.  My neice's dog did this too, and she took him to our Dr. and he corrected with surgery, (entropion) and he had a few eyelashes as well.  It could be allergies to, what are you feeding her?  Could be something environmental too.

The eyelashes grow inward toward the eye ball & rub on the eyeball causing excessive tearing.

You vet can pluck the eyelashes and laser the area so they won't grow back.
