Dog Health

Paul asked:


I live in a house of 5 people (mum, 3 brothers and me). I believe my dog like me as much as my mum, but no-where near as much as one of my brothers.

She does obey most of my commands and is very compassionate towards me, however whenever that brother is home she’s stuck to him like glue. I am currently not working and so have lots of time to spend with my dog.

I cannot get the dog to go on walks with me though - that brother always has to come with me. And because of that my dog is starting to put on some weight.

Also my dog keeps licking her paws for hours and sometimes it seems she’s chewing them and she makes them bleed. The vet says she’s allergic to something but nothing he gives her works.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
