Those of you with foot chewers, what do you do? Abby is chewing her feet raw. It used to be outdoor allergies that would make her chew her feet, but it's been winter for 9 months now, so I know it's not that.
It started at Christmas time when she got too many wheat based cookies, and she started the nibbling of her paw just above her toes - she nibbled all her fur off. The spot has gone from smaller then a dime to two quarters together.
She's been totally grain free since then, but now I don't know if it's habit, or what the deal is. The last time we were at the vet's the vet said to give it some time, and gave me some cream for it.
I made her wear a bootie today so she can't get at it.
