Why would an older small breed dog become obsessive about hygiene?

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.
(4) Whatever your dog is doing.
Get thee to a vet with a description of specific behaviors like:
Why do atheists want to see God so badly?
Vet check time!
(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.
(1) My dog has licked her back left foot raw and only that foot.
(2) My dog is licking her vagina whenever she is sitting or laying down but I haven’t noticed any discharge.
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?
