Maybe she's allergic to the carpet itself?
She didn't complain 3 years ago.

rick impressed everyone with:
Maybe it's psychological? (no seriously)I've known that dogs can chew their fur or groom themselves repeatedly until raw when stressed.
Maybe you should take her to a pet psych? Sounds stupid, I know. But if you run out of options...
R.
Maybe... I dunno yet.

Meridian got all f'ed up on Angel Dust and wrote:
I'm betting this is a nervous condition, and that's why she only does the front paws.If you can get her to a new vet, or if your regular vet is open to it, see if you can get her on a very low dose of Prozac - puppy prozac. It really does work on these obsessive types of things.
As for the hot sauce remedy, dang OUCH - lets see you put hot sauce on your next owie, ok? ;p
Not sure...

ACES! Another post by Faelynn LeAndris:
Not to scare you Kloie, and it's fairly cureable if caught pretty early.But check for cancerous sores on the pads of her front paws, and between the toes. You'll also probably see some swelling, and at first some sets of small bumps.
Dogs can develope a type of cancer in thier paws during middle age which annoys them fiercely, and they will do this sort of behaviour, because they can't help it. Most people just pass this off as sysmptoms of mange, or an acute alergic reaction. Your vet would know for sure, but you'd have to get your doggie in for tests somehow.
It's not THAT serious, but it can be if left untreated or contained. IF thats even what it is. Even if it's not, allergic or nervous behaviours such as these are very bad for pets health, and if left untreated, can be devistating.
No bumps, no "cancerous sores" on the pads of her paws.

From the book of Lalian Viajante, chapter 3, verse 16:
Take your dog to Dr. Terry Wood in Mustang (at the Mustang Vetinary Hospital on SH 152). He's a great vet, and my family's or my pet have been seeing him for close to 15 years.
I'll talk to my mom about it.

How.... Leopold, the Voice of Reason.... uughhhhhh:
Do you have any foxtail plant-weeds? Or are there any around?
Um.
Most likely not.
Are there any seeded plants around? Not trees or anything, bur rather smaller plants/weeds etc.
Only thing left I can think of. Our dog had trouble with foxtail seeds...turns out they can get stuck in/partially under the skin of the paws, irritates the hell out of the dog.
