Some house dogs just nervously lick their paws constantly from boredom and a skin infection can set in. Or the skin infection can be caused by an allergic reaction to flea bites so make sure dog is flea free. Remember that a flea spends very little time on the dog, can bite and then jump off. You could also have something like an inter-digital cyst between the toes. It would be best to take your dog into your Veterinarian to see what treatment would be best, such as antibiotics with or without some type of steroid such as Prednisone, etc. Keep your dog on a once a month flea prevention treatment such as using Frontline or Advantix topically on the skin. You also need to keep the dog from biting and licking at the affected area so it can heal. Get some bitter apple spray or the Bitter bitter Spray which your Vet will have. The best advice is to take your pet to your Veterinarian for the appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

What could be the cause and is there a remedy for your dog who keeps licking under his belly and hind legs now he has several small sores and there is a lot of redness there?

The licking under your dog's belly and hind legs could be caused by allergies, skin infections, or parasites. You should take your dog to a veterinarian to determine the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment, which may include medication, changing their diet, or using a medicated shampoo. In the meantime, you should prevent your dog from licking the affected area to prevent further irritation and monitor for any signs of worsening sores or infection.

If your dog cannot walk on her back legs and has a rash what is the cause?

While veterinarians are taught to try to find an underlying cause for all the symptoms seen in a single patient, sometimes there are multiple concurrent problems. I would suspect in this case the paralysis of the hind legs and the rash are not caused by the same thing. Paralysis of the legs can be caused by several problems - a blood clot in the end of the aorta, a broken back, broken hip bones, etc. To find the cause you will need to take your dog to a veterinarian for an examination, probably with blood work and X-rays. The rash may be secondary to the paralysis, particularly if the rash is on the legs or belly. Otherwise, the rash may be a flea infestation, a skin infection, or an abrasion. This will also take a veterinary examination to investigate.
