| The issue is in order to get her to stop you have to get the itching to stop which means you have find the problem which is probably allergies and treat it. It miserable to have itchy paws and it can easily turn into an infection.

| the vet did say she does have allergies. and she does have dry sink too. but we do have medical that we put in her food for the dry sink so that could be doing the linking too. if this weather would say cold or hot. one day it will be hot and other would be cold. so that could be part of it. I just wish that we could get her to stop linking on her feet. but today she hasn't done any of it so far. |

| Rachel Ray dish. she been on that for a very long time and she never had any problems. but she did get some shots last month but she never had any problems with them before either. At time I think it has something to do with the weather. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You have to treat the cause, not the feet. Read about how to treat allergies in dogs here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/die...tart-here.html What are you saying "dry sink"...? Is auto correct making a mistake...?

| Nizerol Our vet suggested we use Nizoral (found in drug stores). We rub a quarter size amount on her feet and massage through. It has to stay on for approximately 5 minutes, so we just hold and cuddle her then rinse thoroughly. It WORKED! Hope this helps you too.

| Licking paws is caused by allergies until your treat the allergies the paws will just continue to itch.
