Place an e-collar (cone) on Mimi and have him examined by your veterinarian. There may be a corneal injury that you can't see or developing infection. If Mimi is squinting or blinking, the eye may be causing discomfort. Tiny hairs in the eyelids may also be causing irritation which would cause excess tearing.
