My 8 month old cockapoo seems to be getting a few skin conditions. First of all he had crusty red lumps under his belly which were described by the vets as 'puppy acne'. This eventually cleared up with antibiotics. He now has a red rash around his bum 
in the fold of his lips and on the back of one of his legs. He also got a little 'runny eye' that was a bit red and sore in the corner.
His other problem is that he started licking and biting his back paw for long periods of time and made it sore. He has received more antibiotics for the skin condition and the sore paw. One week later his skin conditions had not gone, but were getting better however, he has started on his other back paw. At this time, the vets noticed he has blocked anal glands so she squeezed those and said that may have been the reason why he was licking and biting his paws and gave me some more antibiotics. Another week later he is now doing the same thing to all of his paws.
There does not seem to be anything stuck in his paws and he is not limping. Could this now be a habit he has got into? What can I do to break it? Does anyone else have this problem with their cockapoo?!
He will sit and lick for 30 mins at a time throughout the whole day. He is not so bad when really distracted but when he is relaxing he does it all the time.
Thanks for any comments/advice!
