Question 1

Why does my dog lick its feet?

Accepted Answer

The most common reasons for dogs to lick their feet are atopic dermatitis, infections, and sometimes stomach upset. Although anxiety may make itching worse, it is very rare for a dog to lick due to anxiety alone. See the articles on atopic dermatitis in dogs and cats, and itchiness in dogs for more information.

Question 2

Why is my cat so itchy?

Accepted Answer

The most common reasons for cats to be itchy are atopic dermatitis, parasites, and infections. Although anxiety may make itching worse, it is very rare for a pet to itch due to anxiety alone. See the articles on atopic dermatitis in dogs and cats, and "Is my cat crazy?" for more information.

Question 3

Why does my dog get recurrent ear infections?

Accepted Answer

It is possible that the treatments are not completely resolving the infections or the type of medication is not correct for the type of infection. It is also possible there is a growth or foreign material in the canal. If the infection does completely resolve, and then comes back, then there is likely an underlying cause predisposing to an infection like atopy. See the article on ear infections for more information.

Question 4

Why is my dog losing hair?

Accepted Answer

If your pet is itchy and losing hair, the most common reasons are atopic dermatitis, parasites, and infections. If they are not itchy, then other diseases to consider are demodex, hypothyroidism, Cushing's, follicular dysplasia, alopecia X, and seasonal flank alopecia.
