You need to visit the vet….dogs can develop a “lick granuloma” from what you’re describing, and the vet will have options for treatment. Self mutilation can stem from several things, even boredom. But you need to get it looked at ASAP before he injures himself further.
Hi. My dog, Sam, used to be my best friend. But now he is very cautious towards me and growls at me. I feel like he hates me now. I didn’t do anything. He is very clingy to my mom and her boyfriend and totally ignores me. He even was licking himself oddly for a while one night. I read a book about it and some of the symptoms of the way he’s acting show some problems. What do you think??
