I am so sorry for your loss of EZBoy. I am owned by an 8 month old frenchie girl and I can not imagine losing her....she is so utterly special. I hope there is a time we see all our loved animals again.

		<description>You know, actually I think it can even have a couple more causes...some dogs get into a habit of &quot;foot-licking&quot; like an OCD behavior. The foot may not even itch any more, but they are so used to sucking their foot...they keep doing it! It can even be a form of &quot;self-soothing&#039;, like some of us who overeat to soothe our emotions. 

It can also be a way in which they cool themselves. Have you ever seen the Discovery Channel shows where foxes, etc. lick their feet to keep cool. The evaporative action cools them. 

It can also be fungal, like an athlete&#039;s foot, but in dogs. Or even bacterial. In either of those cases, antibiotics and steroids would have no effect on the licking. Maybe your vet could do a scraping and see if it is bacterial or fungal. If so, there are many excellent medicines available to help that.

All of these are somewhat unconventional ideas, but I have seen it and know it to be so. I wish you the very best of luck and hope this helps...</description>

		<description>Hi I have been trying to find someone out there that can help me find something that will help Gus [my little french bulldog]He has an itch on his paws, and licks them constantly.My vet has given him shots ,pills and they do nothing for him. We looked it up and it is a form of Dermatites. But I can&#039;t seem to find a releif for him.I have tried stop itch and all kinds of shampoos.I have asked other breeders ,and they don&#039;t e-mall back. Have you ever seen this on other frenchies?

		<description>The shea butter soaks in very quickly and gets to work. Plus, most people put it on their dog&#039;s nose and then give them a cookie or chew treat and that way, the dog is distracted and the Nose Butter soaks in even more.</description>
