i just took izzy out to go to the bathroom, and when we came in i noticed that he was trying to get something off of his paw. i picked him up and i believe it was a bug and i knocked it off. well when we got in the house he was crying a little and kept licking his paw like maybe the bug bit him. I checked his paw and didnt see anything but it looks like it is in pain and he seems really uncomfortable like he can barely walk on it. And its shaking a little...you know kind of like if your arm was hurting from a bite or something. What do you think it could be? i feel bad because he seems to be in pain. please help!

I would get him to the vet, asap.

IMO, he could be shaking a little due to a couple of things. Maybe the bug and the bite scared the daylights out of him and simply because it hurts. Did you see the bug? Could it have been a bee or spider? Worse would be allergic reaction. But I'm not telling you to "JUMP"....yet, lol
Keep us posted. Maybe a little ice? If it was a bee maybe the little stinger is still there?

I forgot to add. There could be lightning and thunder coming our way and Jemma senses it and does that little shake. Then when it hits and the loud bangs start, she does nothing, go figure. But last night in the distance you could hear some fireworks. In the DISTANCE. Man she freaked. But lightning bolts flashing in the window. No effect at all. sigh, those little ones never cease to amaze me.

That's true, I know he was a little freaked out. I didnt see the bug because it was dark, but i picked him up and knocked it off of him. When I checked his paw last night I did see a little bit of redness, so i put his paw under cold running water. I dont think he's had any reaction. Im hoping that he will be okay. He ate his food with no problem and is his usual active self....im crossing my fingers
