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:

Why do Americans and foreigners alike describe the USA as prudish? Why do I see nothing prudish about the USA society? USA feels like one of the loosest countries although Americans claim to be very reserved.

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.

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

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

Why is blood sugar ranging from 70-180 in a day and checked through a glucometer?

Vet check time!

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