Hi Anna!
On a hiking trip, Murph started obsessively licking at one of his
paws, which he doesn't normally do. We'd been hiking all day and
I didn't notice him limping or favoring it, but when we stopped for
the day he was noticably licking it. I looked at it and didn't see
anything wrong, but he continued. So I looked closer, spreading
his pads apart to see down inside his paw. And low and behold
he had a sticker burr wedged inside. Don't know how on earth
he'd been walking with that inside and not showing any outward
signs of it. I guess typical behavior for a terrier. Anywho, I had
to get tweezers to remove it, it was so deep down, but he's real
good about letting me do whatever needs to be done to him.
Also, if Maddie has any health problems, Murph will lick her
whereever the problem is. Since Huney's licking on it too, if
Roxey keeps licking on it and won't let you look at it, I'd take her
to the vet.
Par...
