Vet has put her on 2 rounds of Clamavox & Prednisolone but I'm very weary of this medicine after researching it. Vet said no more chicken or beef so she only eats salmon or fish flavored food. He is not sure if its seasonal or environmental so we are just taking it one day at a time. She hates to walk in the wet grass in the mornings when going out to potty. I know her paws hurt and I just don't like to see her so sad. Any other Yorkie parents out there had any issues like this with your babies??? |
Yes, paw licking is a cardinal sign of allergies. Food allergies are rare (10-15%), but enviro allergies are very common - especially in yorkies.
The meds to try would be Apoquel, Cytopoint, or Atopica. They are a miracle for soooo many dogs, including mine!
