Congratulations on your precious baby girl. Layla is a little doll. The biting of paws is usually a sign of allergies, head rubbing can also be from other things like liver issues, but what you describe is different from that. It may be behavioral or stress related, and if you're not seeing any signs of fleas (some dogs are highly allergic to them), I'd call the vet and see how he'd feel about you trying a couple of doses of Benadryl to see if it helps. There are better things than Benadryl, but this would give you an idea if it is allergy related. There are some Bach's Rescue Remedies and other flower remedies from Bach that might be helpful to help alleviate the stresses of her new home. I wish you the kind of love, laughter, happiness, and devotion that my little Yorkies have given me through the years. Four are at the Rainbow Bridge, and two years after losing our last seventeen little girl, three year old Katie joined our hearts and our home and made our lives and whole again. |
