Vet check time!

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.

(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.

Why do people hate on Serena (anime character)? What did she ever do to anyone except be a good friend to Ash Ketchum and an awesome trainer herself?

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?

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

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

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

(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.
