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

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

(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.

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

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

In bed, not in music, which is better, a drummer or a bass player?

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?

Vet check time!

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

In Italy, how do people greet each other when they meet for the first time (e.g., on the street)? What's a good response to that greeting if you're not from Italy or don't speak Italian fluently yet?

(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.
