I really need everybodies expertise on this one, thanks in advance :)

Junior has a little problem he chews his tail (not much of a tail) but its at the top down to the tip. Pretty bald in the middle. He did this when Taz came in the house and I kenneled him, then stopped for a long while when I stopped kenneling him, and now he is doing it again. He is never kenneled anymore at all. can't figure it out why. But then he may of done it cause the bald spot never filled in. We do feed Eukanuba Lamb and rice but am planning on trying Fortum lamb and rice sometime. I Do have chew toys.

Tiva licks her front paws on top, she started this I noticed when she was pretty pregnant (meaning big)and still does it. (no more babies now fixed). why do u think she would do this?

I'm really starting to think that maybe it is the food. I have to stay on lamb and rice because to much corn meal in the other types of food caused her to have the runs almost like water. Something to do with the corn meal. I have heard Fortum is suppose to be really good but can't buy any till next month.

ttfn :)

Hi,
I don't know about junior I'm sorry but have you checked Tiva's anal glands??? (I know Yeuch!!!!!:) ) My own dog used to lick his feet like that and stopped when the vet did his anal glands (go figure :) ) apparently this is quite a common symptom.

Hope this helps
Regards

Yup they are fine. Last time she had a problem with her anal glands she was pregnant and she had an absec(sp) one. Have kept watchful eye on that part. Thanks though :)
Do u think it could have to do with the food at all?

ttfn :)
