Q:My GSD has licked her legs before and caused sores. The first time, when we first got her, it stopped when we started her on a good exercise regiment. The next time, when she realized she was going to be left in boarding, we were able to control it almost immediately with some lotion from the vet. (It surprised me that she didn't lick at all while in boarding). This time, however, she has opened large open sores on both sides of a hind leg and on a front elbow. Nothing I have tried has helped. She doesn't do it in front of me often and when she does she will stop immed. when told to. However, I guess she keeps them open overnight and when she is alone. Any ideas?

A:Cone? It's uncomfortable...
Have you had her tested for allergies and things too? Maybe they're causing the itchiness.

A:I'd have her checked for allergies. The itch in her skin might be more than she can deal with and it licking the itch open to try and make it better. Tlak to your vet about different allergy and meds for them, try to stay away from steroids if at all possible (they create their own set of problems)
A:What are you feeding her?
