excessive licking???

[tikeyas_mom]

Ebony will lick her .. uhh.. "but region" repeatedly ... at all hours of the day/night... What does it mean when a dog licks that area? I was thinking Anal glands might be full, but I released them, at the groomers.. i was thinking worms.. but she was treated when she got spayed. ... .. im out of ideas

Allergies?
Fleas?
Nervousness/boredom?

Does she look irritated at all? If it seems to really bother her, I'd have the vets check it out.

I was reading that labs are prone to "hot spots", my dogs are left alone for a few hours during the day, when we are working... never kenneled up though, they have free run of the house (upstairs and down).. I didnt know they could have a hot spot in "that" area... hmm... No kisses for her lol. she has lost all her hair around there because of licking... it isnt bleeding, but it does look a little raw...
