My 3 yr old Rottie will bite and lick the bottem of her feet until she starts to whin from it hurting. (there is 2 feet inparticular she chews on) there is nothing in her paws or feet except sores from her chewing, i have taken her to the vet for this before and they gave me 2 weeks worth of anitbiotic that cost $80.00, it did dot the trick but after a few months shes starting doing it again, is there anything i can give her or do for her to help instead of having to pay for those expensive pills?? oh she also licks her private areas too alot, continusely, could it be shes bored??? or is it just become habit

the vet said that there is so many diff. things that it could be ( allergy wise) and if they did an allergy test that they still might not be able to find out what it is, i would need to know what she was around,ate, came in contact to,that led her to her obsessive chewing.

Have you changed food recently? It could be a food allergy. It's not uncommon for dogs to be allergic to soybeans, corn, and wheat. The chewing on paws is one of the textbook symptoms of allergies in dogs.
What's changed since before she started doing this? I'd start by eliminating stuff like that.
Good luck!
