| Very interesting. I wonder if all of the massage that Max and Teddy demand helps prevent paw licking in their case.

| Good article on possible medical causes/alleviation of paw-licking. I had no idea that paresthesias and things like that could be part of the paw-licking problem - thought it was always probably due to allergies, foot problems or stressors of some type. This is truly interesting and something to be considered from now on. I'll be interested to see what other vets say on this. Could be a new avenue of help to many dogs. Some times paw-licking is merely displacement/obsessive type behavior(like nail-biting, pencil-tapping, foot swinging in humans) from a bored or hyper, stressed, anxious or fearful dog and looking into and working to find his stressors and helping his psychological issues will help his need to constantly lick his paws. Thank you for the article.
