Take the dog to the vet ,possible ear mites (shaking head) can turn into infection .There are remedies from vitamins to raw eggs for dry skin ,but first make sure that is what he has .

Yes that is true what miss malty said, definatley have the ears look at. As for feet that could be allergies. Depending on wether you dog does this right after she/he comes in from a walk, like mine does. Or if its an all the time thing. If dog only does it upon coming home then it could be seasonal outside allergies. If dog is making feet red and sore vet may prescribe some sort of allergie product. Also, if the dog is not on a quality kibble he should be becuase food does effect the skin. not so good food, not so good skin. More than likely. Your dog could be allergic to something in his kibble.

Also, what is a chichon? Is it a chihuahua- bichon
