I know the title sounds funny but this is a problem. Drake is a pure bred papered yellow lab. He's 10 years old but has some issues. He's got arthritis in his back hips, a fatty tumor on his front right shoulder, and one back hip is slightly dislocated. He goes to the vet for an annual check up, shots, etc. The vet obviously knows about these issues. Now for some reason for the last 2 weeks He's been licking the carpet. It's to the point where there is a softball size wet spot in front of him. I ll give him food, fresh water, and maybe a treat, or even take him outside to run some energy off. As soon as we go back into the house he lays down and starts licking the carpet again. He doesn't need a vet check up until about April but I'm thinking about taking him in. Has anyone seen this before? Why would he do this?
