My dog’s skin has been chewed raw with a skin problem; it keeps biting its legs into wounds and scratching nonstop, with poor appetite and low spirits.
Based on your description, the chewing and scratching may be from parasites (fleas, ticks, mites) causing itch — get an anti-itch shot and external deworming, shave and disinfect with iodine. Food/environmental allergies or atopic dermatitis also cause relentless itching; find and avoid the allergen, and give vet-prescribed oral anti-itch medication. Anxiety self-harm is also possible; see a vet. Always use an Elizabethan collar.
