it is possible she may have a bacterial or fungal infection between her toes. This can be itchy and painful. Ideally, Bini should be examined by your veterinarian to confirm and treat any infection. She may need antibiotics and/or topical treatment. For now, place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent further licking. An Epsom salt foot soak may provide temporary relief until she sees the doctor.
