Cool Any suggestions for tearing the fur out???/

Woody is constantly licking his legs and actually will pull the hair out. We have been watching him when this occurs and it seems to be when he has nothing to do, or Rocky our other Yorkie stares at him..... He was on steroids but that was a waste. It still occurs. If he has a toy and occupied he is fine...... but let him have a few minutes where he is bored and he will start tearing out his fur and whining. I been watching him and it appears it is for attention. Could that be????/ He does not have a rash or anything but his leg will be beet red...... Help... The Vet is not much help at all in this situation. He is on a salmon and potato diet because the vet thinks it might be food allergy but I have my doubts.

With being retired, we give him plenty of attention.... but sometimes I think the other Yorkie may be sending him signals that I am not aware of.
