If he's just had his glands expressed, it could be a bit irritated, as they should definitely not fill back up in a weeks time, or he could have a parasite. Has he been tested in a while? If not that I would wonder if he's itchy from an allergic reaction to the new food? Does the licking coincide with that change over? It's amazing how allergies can affect all different parts of the body. Gizmo licks his feet too, but like he is cleaning them a lot. It's not constant, but more often then other parts o his body, which makes sense though because they get dirty more often from walks, or walking through his pee on his pee pads in the house and such. I would have him tested for parasites though just to make sure that is not a problem, and if its not then I would maybe consider a different food. |
