I've fallen behind on posting an update on this. I tried the gentile soaking and massaging approach approximately once per day for a week, and I didn't see any obvious improvement in the amount of tearing in his eye or gunk on his fur. I took Moon to Dr. B, who said it could be some kind of eye infection. He said a blocked tear duct was possible, but he thinks less likely since that tends to happen at a younger age. He gave me a course of gentomicin antibiotic eye drops. He also suggested that instead of massaging the eye, I should just apply the clean, warm, wet cloth over the eye for about a minute at a time. Within 1-2 weeks, Moon's tearing had resolved.
