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.

Vet check time!

(4) Whatever your dog is doing.

(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:

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?

Why am I not losing weight despite eating 1500 calories daily? Male 24y 161kg 174cm and obese. My calorie tracking is on point, I mostly eat prepackaged food and occasionally cook for myself measuring only the raw ingredients, yes including the oil.

(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.
