Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Male | neutered | 5 lbs
My dog keeps licking and licking in the air all day long. It lasts for about 5 minutes and he does it multiple times a day (like every 20 minutes).

This sounds like a form of seizure activity. I recommend taking videos of this behavior and taking him in for an exam and lab work. Seizures can be from many causes and he may need medication to control them. They also can be an indication of underlying medical problems so bring him in soon for an exam and treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Misko.
