Niko licking both of his back paws a LOT

[Damian]

This has started just a few days ago and for the past 2 days he would not touch his food. He ate some rotisserie chicken but his kibbles are untouched. He had some water. Also, he is kind of lethargic.

I am taking him to the vet tomorrow but wanted to see what do you think might be wrong with him?

He is 2 years old.

We checked his paws and there is no bugs or anything. He did not have any scrapes or cuts.

Please help.

Hopefully someone w/more experience will see your post as I'm no expert. Good that your taking him to vet. If he's a little lethargic you might give him some nutriocal or karo syrup. I'd give him more chicken (better boiled/baked) just so he'll eat. Good that he's drinking water. Please post after vet appt. Hope it's not serious. Sending prayers.

what kind of rotisserie chicken the one from the grocery store? or did you cook it yourself. If from grocery store i would take him in or call vet as those are pumped with a ton of stuff that is fatty and if he is lethargic that is not good. The licking the paws is allergy related - how old is your pup? allergies start from 6 mos to 3 years

he could have an allergy to chicken and why he is licking his paws if you have not given chicken before or it could be an ingredient in the rotisserie chicken

need more info
