| Body Nibblers? Wasn't sure how to title this. Murphy still walks a little with his butt first and my mom is driving me nuts about it. I asked the vet and she didn't feel it was an issue. He also seems to nibble at himself constantly. His hiney, his legs, or us. I think it's just a puppy chewy thing but....my mom is freaking out about it. As in she has to comment on it about once every half hour. He doesn't have fleas. He did go to the groomer last week but he was nibbling before that. There are no sores or anything. It does matt up his hair some. Any ideas?

| Poor Murphy - getting commented on once every half hour! If it were me, I'd just keep an eye out for allergies. But then, I have Reggie who will devour, more than nibble, himself if his allergies are bothering him!

| OMG! Mojo is doing the exact same thing!! Biting his back, and his hind legs.. drives me crazyy.. Someone else also mentioned allergies.. if it gets worse ill take him to the vet..oh but what i did find helped was getting his nails clipped.. he started biting his paws less after the clipping.. im not sure if its related though.. |

| I think it was because he was matted. I had him groomed and frontlined. Not as much of an issue now.
