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.

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?

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

What are some examples of unofficial acts by presidents?

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

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.

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

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

Vet check time!

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.
