Fudge started this yesterday - she keeps flicking her paws, and then obsessively licking/chewing the fur at the tops of her front legs.
My gut feeling is that this is dental, but I don't understand why it would manifest in this way.
The reason I think this is that I've also noticed her chewing oddly and eating a lot less hay just in the last couple of days - she seems to struggle to get going with they hay - I've noticed her chopping bits off instead of getting it into her mouth to chew. Last night I tried her on a different hay though and she tucked into that, though was still chewing oddly.
Fudge has 'mild kidney issues' so I'm afraid of taking her in and subjecting her to a GA if not absolutely necessary. I don't know how bad the impact on the kidneys is, but I know it's not good. I don't feel like I have much choice now though
