Washing paws...


We've started washing Maddoxx's paws every night in an effort to get her to stop chewing her feet! I walked in yesterday and found Eric's hands in the water with her. When I asked her what in the world he was doing, he promtly said, "If Maddoxx has to wash her paws, I will too." :) She handles it pretty well in that she doesn't try to jump out while her paws are soaking, but her face says it all....she's not real fond of the experience!
So we're not sure if she has allergies, yeast or a nervous habit forming. We're soaking her feet in oatmeal and aloe and we've changed her food. Anybody have any other ideas what we can do for her?!?! Her red paws really stand out against her white fur!

I think you already nailed it, little dogs are notorious for allergies and nervous habits. Try a half of a Benadryl at night for a few nights and see if this helps! :)
