Raw Sphincter

Lucy has been licking her anal sphincter a lot lately. So much so that she has licked it raw. No foul odor, so I wouldn't think her anal glands are presenting a problem...any suggestions?

Thanks!

If her anal glands are impacted badly then they cant express so you dont necessarily get an odour. Or she may have allergies.
Its best to talk to your vet. If she licks too much she could develop an abscess and that can be very hard to clear up especially around the anus.
Hope you get it sorted soon its sounds very uncomfortable for poor Lucy. :(
