My cur in the last year has started licking her front paw more and more to the place anytime she is laying she is licking. What is the possible reason for this it has went past the cleaning stage.

injury, skin problems, environmental, parasite, or food allergies, and boredom or anxiety.
My cocker would lick his feet a lot when the wife wasn't home. As soon as she got home it would quit.
As he got older it started getting worse, because he was deaf and almost blind. So he was anxious about things sneaking up on him. He would curl up in a corner and lick away. The only time he wouldn't is if he was on the couch or chair with someone and they had a hand on him. You didn't have to pet him, just have a hand resting on him.
There were times when he would have his whole foot in his mouth.

I can be petting her and she is still licking them. She hears and sees well she is 4 years old. It's gotten worse in the last month or so.

My Chesapeake started doing that last year. After a week or so of " knock it off" every time he would do it, he stopped. Only very rarely does it now. Seems almost hypnotic and just snapping him out of it each time eventually worked.
I would try to get it stopped as soon as you can. I have seen Labs, when not corrected, lick the hair right off their foot, then ya got a whole other problem....................

Our lab did this only on the back feet, Vet said it was food allergies, we have had to feed her grain free food since she was a pup and we take her in about every 6 months for an allergy shot And did it work?

My beagle is always licking her feet and scratching allergies they say.

I was just watching a video about this on facebook. (big brother at work after responding to this) It was basically saying a lot of dogs do it when they are having stomach issues.
