It's an allergy (pyodermis?) that flares up every once in awhile, sometimes twice a month, sometimes every 6 months, no rhyme or reason. Our vet prescribed an antifungal ointment and once they display symptoms we rub it on their mouths and it relieves them until it goes away. Our dogs show symptoms of shaking, running from room to room, (acting strange), obsessive paw licking, and growling if we touch anywhere near the area. It must be so uncomfortable for them. It's an inexpensive oitment and great to have on hand instead of running to the vet every time it flares up. We use Animax or Derma-Vet ointment.
are you using plastic bowels for food or water ? If so i would change to stainless steal, glass or ceramic this might help
