My three year old female is currently going through a massive shed. She is a rescue and I think because her diet has changed so dramatically and she has put on weight that she is almost doing a fully body shed. Her eyes have just finished shedding, but there is still more on her face that is yet to "pop". She is also shedding her front and back legs, stomach and tail.
The strange thing is yesterday she started closing her left eye. I'm wondering could she have irritated it when she shed? Or could she have hurt herself as she has been rubbing a lot on her ornaments to try and remove bits of shed.
Do you think I should take her to the vets or give it a few days to see if it settles down? Also if it is irritation from shed is there anything at home that I can do to help? I can't see any obvious wound or anything but have just noticed this behavior which is very unusual for her.
