Hello-
I am new here and I just discovered this site. So far it has been very helpful as I have searched through many topics. We've had our dog Lucy now for 1 1/2 years and she is doing great.
She does have one problem and we are not sure how to help her. Over the past few months she licks her paws. When I inspect her paws they look a little pink (almost raw). Just the other day I noticed that they are starting to scab. I dont know if it's from her licking them or that she is licking them because they are scabing.
My main questions is, why is she licking her paws? Can it be allergies or something like athletes foot? I feel really bad for her because I know it bugs her. She mostly does it at night when she is relaxing in our bed.
Thanks,
Lucy's parents
