A few days ago my little girl got her first all over haircut. She's gone to the same groomer since I've had her without any problems. But since she came home, she's been biting and licking at her back feet. I've looked to see if there's anything there (she did this once before when she got a sticker stuck in her foot) but I can't find anything. I'm afraid she's going to irritate the pads of her feet by messing with them so much, but now she realized I don't want her to do that and is hiding before she starts messing. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Do I need to be worried? I have no idea what to do.

Did the groomer trim the hair between her pads with the clippers? If so maybe she has razor burn or there could be tiny hairs in there making her itch. For starters, I would try washing her feet and rinsing them well to see if that helps.
