Possible Causes
Self-biting during grooming is not typical and may indicate fleas or parasites, allergies, skin conditions like ringworm or infections, stress or anxiety, or compulsive disorder.
What to Do
Check for fleas and skin irritation. Consult a veterinarian to determine the cause and treatment. Address underlying stress with enrichment and play. Use a protective collar if necessary to prevent further injury.
Seek Professional Help
Self-biting can be serious if untreated. A veterinarian can provide the right diagnosis and care.
