My dog doesn't bother his paw all day. When we go to bed he picks and shines over his back left paw. There is nothing different to see. He does need to whimper when I touch it. He does not tender it at any other time.

It may be due to boredom or anxiety. Consider an e-collar (cone) or keep him away from the paw at night. You can use a spray, such as Bitter Apple or Fooey!, to deter licking. A pheromone product, such is the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser, may decrease any anxiety. If the behavior persists, have Onyx physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat any underlying conditions.
