| Biting Paws? I have an 8 month old Yorkie and noticed he was biting his paws this morning? I checked them and didn't see anything wrong with them. Is this normal? Why is he doing this? |

| Very often chewing and licking paws is caused by a food allergy. |

| What food are you feeding? I have allergy problems with a horse it is very tough to figure out what exactly causes some allergies. And the only thing that works is to change EVERYTHING and then reintroduce them one at a time. Washing your floors with something different is easy enough and reevaluating his diet is too, fungus I know nothing about. |

| Did he just start doing this? If so, try and think about what you might have done different this week.

| I would be careful with the Royal Canin. I had to take my dog off that because he was itching. It has corn in it.

His nails were trimmed a couple of weeks ago. How long do they take to grow back? | |
