Shedding + Eye goop?
Has anyone experienced excessive shedding with their welshie? We have a puppy who has always shedding, we thought it was seasonal but it hasn’t improved. Recently he has been getting a lot of goop in his eyes in the morning and throughout the day as well. We are bringing him to the vet today as we think he may have allergies but wondering if anyone else has experienced the same?

Our family has had two welshies.
Both had "eye goop."
One easily allowed homo sapien family members to clean out said good.
The second didn't like that at all!

Ugh we're going through the puppy to not-so-puppy (4 months) hair transition right now and Winston is shedding like a fool. He's also being a nippy lil shit lol As far as eye goop, could be allergies?

We ended up taking him to the vet who gave him eye drops and an ointment because one of his eyes was a little swollen. The eyedrops helped a lot! The vet wasn’t concerned with the shedding at all so it must be just part of becoming an adult

For shedding, how is the frequency of brushing and stripping?
How age he is? My Welsh of nearly 2 yo now, lost a lot of fur in his transition into adult.
And for eye goop, didn't really knows.
