Paris: Always in my ♥ Donating YT Member | Paris licking his foot pic Paris won't stop licking his foot so I put neosporin and a sock on it. It looks better this morning. Here's what it looked like last night. I cut the hair off. |

| Wow that looks bad. I would suggest a skin scraping by a vet. Daisy used to chew her feet like that and it was yeast which was made worse by her continual licking.

| Take no chances - vet. Possibly could develop into a cellulitis or something.

| Wow yes take him to the vet!! It could be some form of allergy or something else. I'd take him to the vet to have them do a skin scraping to see if there is anything topical that needs addressed. My dog used to continuously lick his paws until I switched to a high quality grain free food. Though his paw never looked that bad. Good luck!

| Could Paris have some type of insect bite on the one foot? Maybe it's itchy and that's why he's licking it. If it doesn't get better, I would go see the vet. Hope your sweet Paris is better. |

Paris: Always in my ♥ Donating YT Member | Thanks so much, it is better. The next morning after the sock treatment, it was back to the regular color and he didn't lick it one time. He hasn't bothered it since. Maybe it was a bee or something after all? www.paristheblindwonderdog.blogspot.com |

| I worked w a girl whose dog had a spider bite on one paw that got infected and required antibiotics. I hope Paris' foot continues to do better. If it gets worse again, I would take him to the vet.

Paris: Always in my ♥ Donating YT Member | He still says it is allergies from the grass. There is a black mildew growing on part of the yard. I just noticed it but I am going to the store and see what I can use on it that won't hurt Paris. Always something. |
