Why would an older small breed dog become obsessive about hygiene?

Licking and chewing are what a dog does when something doesn’t feel right - it itches, it’s in pain, its swollen - or when they are very anxious - canine cognitive decline, loss of a sense like sight or hearing, generalized pain in some other part of the body.

(3) There is a small lump near my dog’s anus and he chews on it several times a day to the point that the fur is gone.

(1) My dog has licked her back left foot raw and only that foot.

How long will it take Christian president-elect Donald J. Trump to restore our nation's moral values?

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

Get thee to a vet with a description of specific behaviors like:

(2) My dog is licking her vagina whenever she is sitting or laying down but I haven’t noticed any discharge.

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

Vet check time!

I have no idea what behaviors you think are indicative a very human mental state, but guess it has something to do with licking/chewing?
