I just cant take it anymore! I have tried already a few things to see what the problem is with kodie but i dunno what to do now... Kodie keeps licking his front legs... right on the top of his paws... and he woke me up last night at 5am because he was licking them and I could hear him slurping right next to my head!! I looked at his legs this morning and now he has a brush burn on the top of each of his front paws from ALL THE LICKING!!! I have tried a few things because I thought it was allergy related....
1) I cut out cheerios (I thought the wheat was doing it)
2) I stopped fresh veggies (he was also getting gas from those)
3) I tried to correct him and tell him thats bad to lick his paws! (haha.. i was disperate) I have also tried to take his attention away from the paws when hes licking them so he will stop. Sometimes he gets nasty with me if I try to move him away from licking his paws.
I have a few ideas and would like everyone elses opinons... do you think that maybe its the shampoos I use? I use these brands..
*[attachment=389:attachment] This is the Lambert Kay Oatmeal and baking soda shampoo and I use the conditioner..
*[attachment=390:attachment] I use this snowy coat whitener from lambert kay at times too.
* I will also use BoDerks shampoo and conditioner
* I use Lambert Kay baby tearless shampoo for his face only
* [attachment=391:attachment] I only give kodie 1 cookie every morning of these (original flavor only)
* Do you think hes allergic to his dog food... he only gets Hill's l/d dry kibble.
* I do give him heart worm tabs every month...
These are the only things I do or give to kodie... so is there a product that is still causing allergies? or is he bored and just licking just because of boredom?
Please help... Any suggestions please... I rather NOT go through allergy testing either! I think kodie has been through enough testing... so I'm trying to maybe fix the problem myself... hopefully. -_- The only other thing health wise to mention is that he has MVD... but is not showing any clincial signs of it... soo I do NOT have to have a completely strick liver friendly diet as of yet.
