| Foot Fetish (His own!) My Linus likes to lick his own feet. I don't think that he chews them, he just licks them until they're all wet. I checked them to make sure that he didn't have any cuts on them or anything, and they looked fine. Does anyone know why he is doing this? |

| My daughter's little yorkie, Maddie, did this too. We were told this was allergies by her vet. Your vet will probably be able to answer this better.

| My little Dylan will lay and lick his front legs for long periods of time. I have heard allergies also but he doesn't scratch alot. Let me know if you find anything else out. |

| Charlie did the same thing, and the vet swabbed between his toes, looked under a microscope and found yeast. He was treated with a special shampoo until the problem went away. No more licking or chewing. Warmly, Deborah
