tail nibbling by dog

[cecil39]

my bedlington + whippet nibbles her tail all the time, and sometimes other parts, but less often, she has had flea tablets, flea shampoo and front line but still does it, can anyone suggest a reason for this please? she has no sore or bald patches, no little black "bits" that fleas leave behind, she can come and go from the house as she wishes and has plenty of company and a large garden and frequent walks, so don't think its boredom.

what does the vet say? It could be mites, an allergy, excema...loads of things

[woofgang]

could be overkill on the flea treatment too!

Impacted anal glands?

Maybe she just likes doing it - if you have eliminated out everything else.

If she's had Frontline...she certainly doesn't need all the other treatments.

the frontline was a last resort, but thanks fo all your suggestions everyone.

Germoline ointment stopped my bitch - don't know whether it was the smell ,taste or the local anaesthetic but it worked a treat
