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

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

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?

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

Why cant I breathe when I sleep on my back, I can breathe if im on my side or stomach but I feel uncomfortable since either my neck is twisted or my back is in pain, im physically healthy and my surroundings are clean so whats the problem?

Vet check time!

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

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

I caught my neighbor leaving his 12-year-old son home alone and he has not come back in 6 hours. Should I call CPS?

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.
