Maxie

[jennyjoan]

Maxie is still eating his wee paws - I do need access to doggie boottees - he wont stop eating them#


I have put 4 socks around them which annoys him but know it does help as if the paws have covers he cannot bite them - a week on - they are pretty healed.

I done this with Harvey only he was licking his bottom - I tied him from top to bottom with pashmina away from bottom - he healed fantastically.

Where can I get these bootees - no (used to be able to do crotchet) not now - he need his paws covered. Any help would be grateful

Dogs don't need boots.

They do if they have cut their paw and had it stitched and you want to take them out, over the fields, for a walk. Experience tells me that.

[hc4361]

I'll rephrase. Healthy dogs don't need boots

obviously maxie is not healthy if he is chewing his paws to the extent he is making them sore. Applying cream and a boot will allow the paws to heal if the initial reason for the soreness is addressed with veterinary medication.

///when i give jordy a telling of for licking his bum i am told that i am just jealous because i cant do it,jenny i hope he will grow out of this habit///

Jordyboy, just give him a biscuit, I'm sure he'd let you!

Has Maxie been on bleached floor? Covering paws would protect him from toxic surfaces. Itchy bums might be due to impacted anal gland?

What a poor mutt :-(

Has something else happened ??

He was much better on Sunday.

Sometimes dogs lick/ nibble/ worry their paws out of boredom. Does he have toys to play with Conne?

[jennyjoan]

He is doing well - went back to vets yesterday and she prescribed antibiotics - yes Boo loads of toys but loves a particular one - I call him Punky - had to throw him out (toy) last night as the stuffing was beginning to come out so will look for another similar one.

[Mamyalynne]

Glad he's doing well, both have a great Christmas too.

wash paws in clean warm water, and if licking is bad try "no lick" Do you spray your carpets with famous name brand of freshener? If so stop.
