This is a definite sign of some allergy... be it food related or environmental. Dusty suffers from environmental allergies (ragweed and molds) and he licks his paws and legs raw into major hot spots. He also breaks out in tiny red bumps on his belly. I have to rinse him several times a week in clear water and he takes allergy meds and that seems to help him tremendously.

Hope Josie is feeling better soon.
