My small dog, 28 lbs was licking and chewing his 4 paws. My vet gave him Benadryl suspension, still chewing, gave Gabapentin too, still chewing, gave Trazodone too. He is needless to say sedated bad. What is happening to him? Pain, itch or severe anxiety? Will he ever stop attacking his paws?

I'm wondering if Koa has allergies, as chewing paws can be a sign of allergies. I'd ask his vet if this can be a possibility and discuss potentially using an allergy medication on him like Apoquel or Cytopoint. I'm sorry he's doing poorly!
