My Moka is a compulsive licker. We will just call her name, or say "stop licking" firmly, and that will distract her. sometimes I have to say it a couple of times, but she knows what I mean and she will stop. In the mornings while I am getting ready for work she will lay stretched out flat and lick/suck the carpet floor, sofa pillows, blankets, etc. She was a little older when she started this behavior but I can see it being related to allergies since we are suspicious of other food allergies and now that I think about it, the food allergies and the licking started about the same time.

I will have to ask my vet about the benedryl at at our checkup. Very interesting.

Funny side note, Moka will even suck a tiny string of her mustash hairs. She pushes her head up against the side of the sofa to get them to where she can grab them into her mouth, then suck on them like a child that sucks on their hair..
