Why is my dog constantly licking and biting his paws? Could it be pododermatitis?

Question

Hello so I don’t know how my dog contracted this but can you confirm if it’s pododermatitus? I looked up several types of infections and it fit the symptoms my dog has. He keeps biting and licking at his paws. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Thor. Unfortunately, I cannot make a definitive diagnosis over an internet forum, it's illegal. It could be he has pododermatitis, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. I'd take him into the vet who can diagnose what is causing the problem, and can treat him. Best of luck.
