Title: Biting back foot
Post by: cazza on April 16, 2021, 06:16:11 PM

Ash has been out in the back garden tonight, nothing new there but has come in and is constantly going to bite her back paw. I was out with her and didn’t see her get stung or anything

I have had a good look at her paw and can’t see anything - I have wiped her foot over and between the toes with a damp flannel

Any ideas welcome

Thanks in advance

Hi, do you know what health tests her parents have had? Don’t want to alarm you (and it probably isn’t that), but you may have hear of a condition AMS?  If her parents were tested clear for this or are hereditary clear then you can happily exclude that.

Yes I can rule that out

She is fine this morning, I have found a thistle in the grass that has now been removed  :shades: :shades:
