Cami's biting at her paw?

[CamCamPup33]

When i was just browsing pettalk i heard a chomp on something hard, like something from that hard peice of whatever chipped off, it was her paw! I dont know if she bit her nail or what but i ran over to her thinking it was something hazordous.. Why was she biting on her paw like it was a bone? does anyone know?

Hmm, Tasha "trims" her own nails, always has. She seems to know exactly how to do it and has never bitten through a nail too far up. It makes a pop sound like you describe when she bites off a piece. Maybe that is what it was? I'd just keep an eye on her.

Sometimes it could be just itchy, but it might be allergies or even anal problems (some dogs chew their feet/legs when they have anal problems). Just keep an eye on her.

Yep, Millie does it too. She's very good at it. Better than I am and it makes it easier on me since she hates having her nails trimmed.
