Can one breast stop producing milk while the other works well?

MY daughter is now 11 weeks old and breastfeeding has been going well I returned to work at 6 weeks post partem. My left breast has always been more difficult (I was told in the hospital that this was due to it being my non dominat side being right handed) at first with latching on and such but that all resolved but since returning to work i have noticed that the left breast is not producing much milk when the baby is nursing she is very fussy on that breast after only a min or 2 but is satisfied when on the right while at work i pump only getting about a ounce to two on the left when getting 4 to 5 on the right and i leave the pump on the left longer than the right in hopes of getting it started again. Is there something I am doing wrong or that I should try I realy want this to work.
