what could it be? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

The past two days, Domo has been licking his left paw constantly, particularly around his dew claw. I've inspected it, it all looks normal, but I'm concerned because he's only licking that one paw. I don't see any redness, swelling, ticks, etc. The nails were just trimmed.

He went to a new groomer last week and has been acting a little weird since. I thought maybe the shampoo bothered him but his skin looks fine. I gave him a bath with his regular shampoo last night just in case.

I feel like between he and Miya this past month, we've been living at the vets office.

The groomer could have knicked his paw or allergies. But if there's no redness or swelling I doubt it would be the latter.

He also could have gotten something in his paw or stung by a bee etc.,

I was thinking maybe an ant bite or maybe the groomer got too close to the quick. His legs are so hairy and his nails are black. Ehhhh. I'm gonna keep an eye.

Can you see the end of the quick in this particular claw? You may be able to. I bet the quick was cut or something. Dogs lick/chew their paws when they have allergies, but not really just one paw and one area like this.
