We all love our dogs. We worry about them when they are sick or when sudden sores appear on their bodies. Sores can appear on our dog’s bodies when they suffer from lick granuloma, which is an urge to lick his body. This urge mainly centers on his lower body, around his legs and the base of his tail. This urge will become a continued action that will cause the skin to become red and inflamed. Over time, lesions may form. These lesions can even lead to other health issues.
A dog may suffer from lick granuloma for a number of reasons. These can include boredom, stress and compulsiveness. However, health issues such as fungal and bacterial infections can also be a cause, as well as fleas and mites.
