Hi there, you said Ted (by the way I love his name
) is doing a lot of paw chewing, Does his food contains potatoes or oats. How about his treats?
Sheldon was a doing a lot of paw chewing/licking, I talked to the vet and she mentioned white potatoes I came home a did a little research and decided to switch him to a potato free formula.
I also checked on the treats I was giving him and they contained oats.
I am not sure if it was the treats or the potatoes making him itch but after eliminating both he stopped it.
Good luck with Ted!
