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

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:

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.

Did you know God exists? 900+ answers later and no atheist has yet to be successful. Day 8 of asking Atheists to provide a SINGLE argument that demonstrates a cause for the beginning of the universe while avoiding the problem of infinite regression.

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

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

(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.

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