Oh Elke...

Elke appeared to be getting better after everything we went through two weeks ago.  And then, she started with the licking again a couple days ago.  She appears to only be licking two nails on one of her front paws.  This morning, I called Dr. Marty and he wanted to see Elke right away.  Have I said how much I really love Dr. Marty?  He is such an awesome vet, and totally dropped everything to see her.  He just goes above and beyond, and I think that is because he has such a bond with Elke.  He took care of Elke at a point in her life when she was so sick and we can never thank him enough for that. 

Anyway, there are so many reasons why dog lick their paws, so it can be so hard to diagnose.  He researched quit a bit when we were there, and knowing Dr. Marty he continued to do so after we left.  For know, she is on a cocktail of meds, and we will see if we can clear up whatever is going on.  Maybe it's not a food allergy?  But what is it?
