Hello, Sorry to hear this about Vallorlin. Obsessive licking can be caused by pain (such as arthritis), skin disease (such as a skin infection or allergy flares), or be psychological/behaviorally motivated. I recommend taking Vallorlin for a physical exam with his veterinarian. They will be able to guide you best on diagnostics or treatment after seeing him. I hope this helps. Thanks for using PetCoach.
