Addie is upset with me because she has to wear my otter sock in the house

She chewed up her foot again 😩 I might need to put her back on the expensive medication (that I can't afford)

And they always give you those eyes that say, "Why are you making me do this?" 😔

@ReneeT I knoooow, it makes me feel so guilty

She's sleep peacefully now

@caccoon It is really hard to try to keep your dog from chewing at their leg. I had to use some bitter orange to stop mine

My dogs were foot chewers and to stop that I buy a box of raw beef livers packaged like in my provided picks. I take one liver out every morning after the dogs go out and potty and come back into the house and slice it in half while it is frozen Uncooked and give each dog a half of the raw uncooked beef liver. It stopped their chewing and allergies. If you cook the liver, you kill all the natural nutrients and enzymes the dog needs. Way cheaper than nay vet or medication. One is a 120-pound Rottweiler and the other dog is a 30ish pound mix breed.

@WillaKissing good to know!!

@caccoon Dog food just does not have the real nutrients our pets need. The raw beef liver is perfect to supplement them with once daily.

poor addie :'(
im sure she knows youre trying to help her overall though
One of my dogs constantly chewed on her feet. She's now on a probiotic and apoqel and it's night and day difference
@caccoon I wanna say a three month supply of of 16 mg once a day is like $200.
There's also the cytopoint shot. I wanna say it's like $100 but lasts three or four months
caccoon · 36-40
@SooperSarah I should ask about that.

A 1.5 month supply for Ads is almost $400. Maybe because she is so large
@caccoon That's insane!
I'm 99% sure cytopoint is made by the same people that make apoquel.

Maggie's only like 62 lbs. She used to take it twice a day but I think the probiotic is helping. She also gets a benadryl once in a while.

Why is she biting her foot does she have an allergy?
caccoon · 36-40
@Rokan she has an autoimmune disorder
Rokan · 36-40, M
@caccoon oh that doesn't sound good
YoMomma ·
Aww cute sock .. whats wrong with her foot that she's chewing it up? Will she be ok?
caccoon · 36-40
@YoMomma she's got an autoimmune disorder and she's having some kind of yeast infection between her toes
Aww, she looks so sad, but it looks good on her.

They sell like a liquid that's very bitter to discourage them from licking
caccoon · 36-40
@deadgerbil I should get some of that, it's just hard once she's broken the skin 😩

I'm trying a new limited ingredient dog food and we'll see if it helps, but it'll take a few months I think before I know
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@caccoon yeah you'll probably have to wait until she heals up before applying it but it does work bc I had a dog that would chew her paws and stopped after the liquid

Aww poor Addie, she looks so sad with your sock on but it has to be done.
