scalesntails 118 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Could be a number of things. Fleas, boredom, stress some other infection. First thing to do is make sure he is stimulated with stuff to chew and he is up to date with frontline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My old Lab developed the habit of chewing his back just above his tail. In the end I had to lampshade him and clean it daily with hibiscrub. I left the lampshade on for 2-3 weeks after it was healed to break the habit and he never did it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
