Hi Elaine The only time I ran into this was with a Cairn terrier I had...right at the base of his tail also. He had suffered a back injury and the vet said it was nerve damage? Anyway he gave him an herbal supplement and it made it disappear. Sorry I am not more help.

I have a male LH who seems to like to nibble at the base of his tail, he isn t damaging the skin just giving himself a crewcut on his butt. I have bathed him thinking the skin was the issue, he has no parasites/fleas/mites.....I tried spraying no chew, he seemed to chew more....so I am now using a product my sister uses on her dogs and horses that her holistic vet gave her its a heavy skin cream [all natural] which seems to have stopped his nibbling. Food has not changed, I just would love to figure the trigger? He is happy, loveable, and loves playing with his sister but seems when she is napping he is nibbling.... They have chew toys, other toys.... Anyone ever run into this before?? Thank you Elaine
