Poor Lexi, how painful! She may be licking from puppy vaginitis, which is pretty harmless but can cause burning and itching in that area. Take her to your vet if you can so you can get her on some pain medication or anti-inflammtory medication so she can feel better. Sometimes warm epsom salt bathes help tremendously as well.
