Q. Our pug has been licking her paws and hind legs constantly. Took her to the vet and she was prescribed dry duck and potato food. Hasn't helped, she still licks constantly. We purchased a collar which has prevented her licking but can't wear it all the time. With a $72 vet bill and $38-$39 for food, we don't want to go back. What should we do? -- MaryAnn S., Foster City, CA
