Juju is biting his paws and legs, they are becoming raw. What is this and what do I do?

    Biting at the paws and legs like this are a usual manifestation of an allergy. This could be a contact allergy, food allergy or inhaled allergen atopy. Parasites are unlikely in this case but should be ruled out. You should consult your vet before the problem gets worse
