Bianca has had a weird issue for the last week or so. I figured that it had to do with a flea I had found on her...(previously she was on Sentinel for HW and Flea prevention, but with fall came need for a more aggressive treatment so she got Advantix) But she had been chewing a little at her feet.
Well --Todayi stopped her and was looking at her pawpad and noticed that while she was in her crate she chewed about 1/2 the metatarsal pad OFF of her back foot. She's left the pink subcutaneous tissue there.
We went to the vet today for vaccines and I brought it up to him and he said it was probably just boredome chewing and gave me a yuck spray and antibiotic ointment for the area. Well...she likes the spray :crazy: So...atm I have a sock on her foot with vetwrap holdind it there.
Has anyone else dealt with this problem? If so how did you get her to stop? She doesn't do it unless she's in her crate...which she isn't in very often about 4 hours on Monday and Wednesday is it. I also take her for on a 1 hour walk prior to crating her and she has a frozen kong in there...ugh LOL!
