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

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

(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:

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.

How did Nickelback gain a large fan base despite criticism of their music?

Vet check time!

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.

If you were to bet, will Canada bend over to Trump's America demands or remain inflexible until the last day of his Presidency on January 20, 2029? Will America or Canada win this geopolitical arm-wrestling? I'm rooting for America.

(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.

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.
