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

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

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

Vet check time!

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

Is Florida now unsurvivable because it's an oven due to climate change? It's 11:48 am on May 30th and the heat index in SoFla is 100. I can see it going up to over 130 by July.

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

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?

(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.

What are some mind-blowing facts about Michael Jackson?

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

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.
