Scottie Licking Paws; Itchy paw kit nuvet;

Question
I have a 4 year old scottish terrier.  About a 1 1/2 ago she starting licking paws, we had her tested and we started to give her shots...they did nothing.  Then she was put on Zyrtec...which worked for a bit but now she is licking more so now. Is there something else we can do?  We wash her paws after she has been outside.  She is on a special dog food with no grains. Any help you could provide?

Oh, boy, I do get many questions on itchy paws ..... So, here is some help that works great at our clinic...  *** NO steroids or shots.

1.  Please was her 1 x per week in Tea Tree Hot spot shampoo by the NuVET folks - Ordering link below : holistic and not sold in stores:

2.  Please spray her paws every day ( am and pm) with the Hot Spot Spray - tea tree oil - again, this is also make by the NuVET folks

3.  Wafer skin vitamins; give 1 1/2 per day for the first 30 days and then go to just 1 wafer per day.  This NuVET vitamin is All natural and VERY safe : you can give this with anything your vet also orders for your Scottie.

here is my NuVET site:

The wafers cost about .65 cents per day
The shampoo is under 10.00 and I believe the spray is about 9.00
Don't shampoo more than 1 x per week for the next 3 weeks.  After that, use the Tea tree shampoo 2-3 x per month, only.  We don't want to dry out the skin with too much washing.

4.  Last , add some Vitamin E -  Give 100 IU of Vitamin E per day - hide in some wet canned food.
This helps the skin and reduces any inflammation / swelling related to allergies.
I would do Vitamin E for at least 90 days.
Just 1 per day would be fine.
This is an average dosage and not a drug.


KEEP me posted, I am here for you.
