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.

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

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.

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?

Vet check time!

(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.

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

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this

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?
