We have two sisters, 5 months old, and they lick everything all the time. Us, each other, the furniture, the windows, the walls, whatever they can reach - is this normal? Does anyone have a solution?
Hi, and welcome to the group! You'll love it here! I'm a retired teacher in Texas. My husband & I have two female ratties, too. One is 3 and the other is 1½. Sounds like your pups may have what is called OCD, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I don't know how that is managed, but I would discuss it with your vet next visit. You could Google OCD and see what information you can find. I had a dachshund that used to lick my back porch floor all the time; another dachshund that licked the back door glass all the time. Funny thing is they didn't lick anything else in the house. Luckily my two ratties only lick my face and shower me with kisses all the time. I hope your vet can offer some advice. We'd love to see pics of your puppies!
