    @tanza: IMO this is just skin pigment… if it is not bothering her... would not be worried Except >> l the surface is a bit rougher than the other parts<< … which definitely fit Arwen's condition and was not just skin pigment changes.

    My guy gets into "lickfest" mode from time to time. I find I can often distract him, or failing that just tell him to quit it. Sometimes I offer my hand and he licks that for awhile. In the fall, I find he is itchy much of the time, which results in more licking, groom biting, and scratching than at other times of the year. If he gets too insistent, I will put an Elizabethan collar on him for a bit, or sometimes just showing him the collar and threatening him with it will get him to cease and desist! :)

    Am I alone in thinking the world has gone mad? What on earth was the vet thinking of? I trust you'll be looking for another vet? I wnt add further advice on removing glue - you've been given lots of good advice. I hope

    Not uncommon for baby puppies to get yeast or ear mites…... best to visit the Vet to get it cleared up....

    The dogs in the picture look so much wilder to me. I liked the smaller ears. also they talk about the dogs had short muzzles. Very cool pictures, thanks for posting the link.

    You can go to the AKC website - www.akc.org - and look under Registration. They should give you all relevant info. Terry
