Question

Jaxon is chewing the hair on his legs and pulling it out. How can I stop this. Pet's info: Dog | Chinese Crested Hairless | Male | 5 years old | 21 lbs

You can stop it by putting an E-collar on him: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/all-four-paws-tan-comfy-cone-5000727--1 ) Obviously that is only addressing the symptom of chewing, not the underlying cause. It is best to get him to a vet for an exam. In the meantime you can use the E-collar to prevent further trauma to the area.
